RE:    John Bunch Announces Bid for Baltimore County Orphans’ Court Judgeship

Owings Mills resident John Bunch has announced today that he will run for Baltimore County Orphans' Court Judge.  Mr. Bunch is running as a Republican for the county’s probate court, whose three judges are currently all Democrats.  The Orphans' Court resolves differences arising from disputed estates.

Mr. Bunch received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in political science from the University of Maryland Baltimore County.  He has been a Retirement Plan Representative at T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services for the last four years.  His tenure at T. Rowe Price has provided Mr. Bunch with ample experience in the reconciliation of accounts and the calculation of interest - two valuable skills for a probate judge.  Other relevant components of Mr. Bunch’s responsibilities at T. Rowe Price include the interpretation of government regulations as they pertain to tax-deferred savings plans and the distribution of plan assets to death beneficiaries.
