Neil Parrott
Neil Conrad Parrott (born July 30, 1970) is an American politician who has served as a member of the Washington County Board of County Commissioners since 2026. A member of the Republican Party, he was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 2011 to 2023.
Born and raised in Maryland, Parrott graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park and Mount St. Mary's University. He began his career as a traffic engineer for the Maryland State Highway Administration and the city of Frederick, Maryland. Parrott first became involved in politics in 2002 and was elected as a Republican to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2010, first representing District 2B from 2011 to 2015 and then District 2A until 2023. During his tenure, Parrott organized efforts petitioning laws passed by the Maryland General Assembly to legalize same-sex marriage and extend in-state tuition to undocumented students, which were upheld by voters.
Parrott ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in Maryland's 6th congressional district in 2020 and 2022, losing both times to incumbent Democrat David Trone. He ran for the 6th district for a third time in 2024, in which he was defeated by Democratic nominee April McClain Delaney in the general election.
Born in Bethesda, Maryland, Parrott graduated from Old Mill High School in 1988. He went on to the University of Maryland, College Park where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering in 1994. He later attended graduate school and in 2006 graduated from Mount Saint Mary's University with a Master of Business Administration.
Parrott began his career at the Maryland State Highway Administration where he was a traffic engineer. He went on from there to become the Deputy Director of Engineering in the Frederick, Maryland Department of Public Works, where he helped hire a new traffic engineer for the city and purchase the extension of new sidewalk along the Golden Mile section of U.S. Route 40. Parrott and his wife moved to Middletown, Maryland in 1999, where he started a consulting company, Traffic Solutions Inc., in 2007.
Parrott first got involved with politics in 2002, successfully suing the American Civil Liberties Union over the removal of a monument for the Ten Commandments in a public park in Frederick, Maryland. In April 2009, he got involved with the Tea Party movement, organizing bus trips to Washington, D.C. to protest the Affordable Care Act. In July 2009, Parrott filed to run for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 2B.
Parrott was sworn in as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates on January 12, 2011, representing District 2B. He was redrawn into District 2A during the 2010 redistricting cycle.
In February 2013, Parrott was one of three House members who voted against reprimanding state delegate Tony McConkey, who failed to disclose a conflict of interest when pushing for legislation that would have allowed him to regain his suspended real estate license.
