In March 2021, Shaun Porter protested Frederick County Executive Jan Gardner (D) in front of her home. Consequently, Gardner asked a Frederick County judge to grant her a temporary peace order against Porter, claiming he was harassing her.

He explained why he’s protesting Maryland elected officials like Gov. Larry Hogan and Jan Gardner, the outgoing Frederick County executive.

And he shared stories about his frequent run-ins with Maryland law enforcement while protesting and exercising his First Amendment rights.
