Brooke Lierman

Comptroller
State of Maryland

Brooke Lierman is the 34th Comptroller of the state of Maryland and the first woman to be independently elected to one of our state’s constitutional offices. After running a strong, policy-focused and grassroots-led campaign, she was elected with over 60% of the vote in November 2022. She is an attorney by training, practicing as a civil rights and disability rights lawyer for many years, and prior to her election as Comptroller, she served for 8 years a member of the House of Delegates representing part of Baltimore City. While in the House, she spent time in leadership roles on both the Appropriations Committee and the Environment and Transportation Committee. She chaired the Oversight Committee on Pensions.

As Comptroller, she is leading an agency of 1,200 dedicated Maryland public servants in 12 offices around the state. She has focused on making government work better by modernizing the agency’s aging IT infrastructure and staff structure, and she has created an office of public engagement and taxpayer advocate to ensure that the resources of the agency are shared with Maryland businesses and residents. The office has published new and important research reports on Maryland’s economy, and Brooke’s acts as a fiscal watchdog on the Board of Public Works, focused on achieving best value for the state and meeting our MBE goals. Under her leadership, the office of the Comptroller is working to create a Maryland that is more equitable, more resilient, and more prosperous so that all Marylanders can reach their full potential.

Brooke grew up in Montgomery County and now lives in Baltimore City with her husband two school-age children.
