Frederick County Young Republicans

01/27/2026

We wish Councilman Scott Lasher the best as he resigns from city Council. May his health improve as time moves on. As for the filling of the seat, Republican candidate, Joe Adkins, should be offered and if accepted he will be the first Republican elected or appointed since 2013.

On Monday, the City of Frederick received the resignation of District 4 Council member Scott Lasher effective immediately due to health reasons.

Council member Lasher, who took office in December 2025, made the decision to prioritize his health and well-being.

He issued the following statement: “After careful consideration and on the advice of my doctors, I have made the difficult decision to resign from the Frederick City Council due to health reasons. Serving this community, even for a short time, has been one of my life’s great honors. I am grateful to the residents who placed their trust in me, to my colleagues on the Council, and to City staff who work every day to serve Frederick. While this was not an easy decision, I know it is the right one for my health, my family, and the residents of District 4. I remain hopeful for the City’s continued progress.”

The City Charter outlines a process for filling City Council vacancies, and that process will be followed to ensure continued representation for residents.
Additional information will be shared at the appropriate time.

Out of respect for Council member Lasher and his family, the City requests that his privacy be honored during this time.
