Former Calvert County Commissioner Susan Shaw will be filing this week her candidacy for Mayor
of North Beach. Shaw served as county commissioner for three terms, from 2002 to 2014.
The town election date is the same as the general election -- November 6th. The mayor and all six
council member positions are up for election every four years in North Beach.
So far, according to the town office, only Councilman Mike Benton has filed. He also is seeking to
become mayor.
Long-time Mayor Mark Frazer is retiring and not seeking re-election., Shaw said of Frazer, “He
has been very progressive.” Frazer is known for the town’s infrastructure improvements, including the
boardwalk, under his watch.
Shaw noted that Frazer had been a county commissioner also before becoming mayor. Shaw said that
“institutional knowledge” helped him get things done. She said she would bring that same experience to
the mayor’s seat.
Shaw graduated from the University of the Americas with a B.A in 1969 and Catholic University of
America, with a M.A. (social work) in 1976. While commissioner she was a member of the Economic
Development Commission, Calvert County, 2002-14; Board of Health, Calvert County, 2002-14; Tri-
County Council for Southern Maryland, 2002-14; Task Force on Traffic Capacity Across the Chesa-
peake Bay, 2004-06; Southern Maryland Higher Education Council, 2011.
Most recently Shaw was publisher of the Calvert Gazette newspaper, which ceased publication several
months ago.
