Allan H. Kittleman (born October 20, 1958), an American Republican politician, is the ninth and current county executive for Howard County, Maryland since December 1, 2014[update]. Kittleman previously served as a Maryland State Senator from 2004 to 2014, representing the 9th district covering Howard and Carroll Counties, and was Senate Minority Leader from 2008 to 2011. He also previously served on the Howard County Council from 1998 to 2004.
Born on October 20, 1958, in Olney, Maryland, Kittleman attended Atholton High School in Howard County, Maryland. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in 1981 and graduated with honors from the University of Maryland School of Law with a J.D. in 1988.
Kittleman was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1988 and was an associate with Smith, Somerville & Case, 1988–91 (legal assistant, 1984–88) and a partner with Herwig & Humphreys, LLP from 1996 to 2003 (associate, 1991–96). Kittleman has worked for the law firm Godwin, Erlandson, MacLaughlin, Vernon & Daney since 2008, though is not listed currently among the firm's attorneys.
He is the son of the late Robert H. Kittleman and was appointed by Governor Bob Ehrlich (R) to fill his seat in the Maryland Senate. In 2006, Kittleman won re-election in a landslide against Democrat Richard Corkran. With a reputation as a social libertarian, Kittleman frequently mediates between the liberal and conservative factions in the party. In 2010, Senator Kittleman defeated Jim Adams by a wide margin in the general election after facing no primary opposition. On January 30, 2010, the Senate Republican Caucus again chose him to serve as Minority Leader with Senator David R. Brinkley as Minority Whip, who defeated Senator Nancy Jacobs.
