Jean Salvatore
Jean has lived in Harford County since 1981. As a Department of Defense civil servant, she began as an intern technical specialist, led logistics teams, served as a division chief, and retired after serving as a logistics director. That work taught ethics, teamwork, and steady public service.
Her community work includes service as president of Shadow Cats TNR, membership in Harford Land Trust, and a commitment to preserving open green spaces. Jean has also set aside a small Harford parcel under forest stewardship as part of that commitment.
