About Patrick
Patrick is a life-long resident of Aberdeen and is employed as a Property Manager for Holly Circle Townhouses LLC, a local real estate company. He graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a B.S in Finance and a B.A. in Economics. McGrady serves as a chief organizer for the Harford Property Tax Revolt, a grassroots citizens’ coalition dedicated to protecting private property owners and renters from out-of-control tax increases. He is also a member of the Harford County Campaign for Liberty, a non-profit organization dedicated to grassroots activism that promotes individual freedom and economic liberty. Additionally, Patrick is a member of the Harford County Route 40 Republican Club, Harford County Chamber of Commerce, and the Route 40 Business Association.
In July, McGrady led a successful fight to limit future property tax increases in Harford County for the citizens of District 34A, resulting in taxpayer savings of at least $853 million over the next ten years and saving each household at least $15,000. Patrick also volunteers in his community as a lacrosse coach at Aberdeen High School and for the Four Diamonds Fund at Hershey Medical Center, a non-profit foundation that raises money for children battling cancer.
Patrick McGrady has roots in Harford County that span across generations. Patrick’s father, Leonard N. McGrady, Sr. and Patrick’s grandfather, Leonard E. McGrady spent many years as partners in real estate development, home construction, and renovation businesses. The father-son team built more than 700 homes in Harford County between 1960 and 1980, a large portion of which were built in Aberdeen. Patrick’s mother, Pasquetta (Pat) McGrady is the daughter of first generation Italian immigrants, Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Piantone, Jr., who tirelessly pursued the American dream. Mr. Piantone worked as a stonemason for years before saving up enough money to return to school to gain formal education in real estate. Today, Patrick’s family runs the business his grandfather started more than 50 years ago.
