Gov. Moore Confirms Howard “Kevin” Anderson to Fill Del. Otto’s Seat

MARYLAND – Governor Wes Moore has announced the appointment of Howard “Kevin” Anderson to fill the Maryland District 38A House of Delegates seat previously held by the late Charles J. Otto.

“Kevin Anderson is a son of the Eastern Shore, with deep roots in Somerset County and a lifelong commitment to growing Maryland’s agricultural sector,” said Governor Moore. “He understands the needs of his community firsthand, and I am confident that he will serve his constituents with dedication and distinction. I look forward to working in partnership with Kevin to build a Maryland that leaves no one behind.”

Anderson’s appointment comes after the Republican Central Committee of Somerset County nominated him on Nov. 10.

Anderson owns and operates Wimberly Farms in Somerset County, growing corn, soybeans, wheat, and barley together with his father, wife, and two daughters. He represents the third generation in his family to work in the seed business. 

Anderson has served on various statewide boards, local civic clubs, and organizations to promote Maryland’s seed industry. He currently sits on the Maryland Grain Producers board of directors, and serves as vice president of the Maryland Crop Association.
