McConnells, S.C. — Daniel Harshaw, a lifelong York County resident, attorney, husband, and father of four, announced today his candidacy for York County Probate Judge, pledging steady leadership, service over self, and a court the public can trust.

Harshaw’s family has deep roots in York County, and his career centers on serving families during some of life’s most important moments. With experience in both private practice and as in-house counsel for the Bank of York, Harshaw believes the role of Probate Judge demands professionalism, fairness, and common sense—not politics.

This race is about service over self and being a voice people can trust.”
Harshaw outlined the following priorities:
- Steady, Conservative Leadership
