Walker has a master’s degree in Public Administration and Policy from American University, and is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Public Policy’s Academy for Excellence in Local Government. He is the chair of the Responsive Government Transition Team Committee for the Pittman administration, and was also a member of the Board of Directors for the Maryland Association of Counties, serving as its president from 2017-18.
