What is Marc Elrich 's political future

[Anonymous]

Will he run for governor, Congress or Senate???

[Anonymous]

No. He's done after this (by choice). Will retire.

I hope he primaries Trone

As a PP stated, he has been very clear that this is his last term and that he had no other political ambitions. Unlike other politicians regarding this subject, there’s no reason not to take him at his word. In addition, there are just some practical realities that would inhibit his ability to advance. First, to where? There’s no open seats until Cardin eventually retires. Second, he’s self admits that he’s not a strong fundraiser. Third, he’s been mentioning lately that he feels tired and speculated it was long COVID.

Of course he did

Is this a serious question? He's 73.

I would say he has already exceeded his level of competence in the county.

I would really be surprised if this is a serious post, as with the other Marc Elrich recent post. In the off chance that it is, I’ll entertain it. And I voted for Elrich including in the primary:

No, Marc Elrich would certainly not run, let alone win, statewide.
Maryland has a huge bench of younger Democratic talent, many candidates of color, who have more broad appeal.

Elrich could barely hang on in MoCo, a left wing stronghold. Do you really think he could appeal anywhere else in the state? That’s like asking if Ilhan Omar could be elected governor of Minnesota.

Also, as much as I like Elrich personally and ideologically, he hasn’t been that great administratively. Not saying he’s as bad as people here say or that others would be any better - I did vote for him- but his biggest problem is he is a micromanager and not a delegator. He would be disastrous as a governor and he’d be useless in Congress. He would be a leftist Marjorie Taylor Greene - not saying he’s dumb and conspiratorial as her but he would be useless on any committees and just argue and not get anything done. He’s a flamethrower. I like him in MoCo because he offsets the developer mafia and he gives a much needed voice for labor here. But his type of governance wouldn’t work anywhere else.

+1. He’s proof the Peter Principle isn’t an absolute.

Is this post a joke? Elrich is incredibly bad. I really don't think his IQ is over 100.
