If it came down to Hogan vs Jealous in General Election who would you vote for?

Certainly not the wealthy, many tax laws favor the wealthy. It’s why President Trump was able to get away with paying virtually little to no tax. My dear brethren it will be the middle class who will pay the tax increases as it has always been. We the little people don’t have enough knowledge or resources to use little unknown tax loopholes.

I don't think you have a conception of the amount of taxes the wealthy pay. The extremely rich may be able to avoid a lot of taxes, particularly if much of their income is passive. But the working wealthy, pay a much greater percentage of their income than do middle class families.

IDK, Jealous has a lot of support in Baltimore.

Will MCPS get universal pre-k with elrich or blair?

I don't want Jealous to tax rich Marylanders that much because I'm worried they'll move across the border and we'll be stuck with people who take and don't take -- this is my same concern with Elrich in MoCo

But I don't want Hogan to expand the beltway

Basically, both stink..

Tax the rich!

Yes, tax the rich, but we also need to tax big business. They just got a huge windfall from Trump on the federal level, but we can at least make sure that they pay their fair share in MD.

I wonder who Trump would prefer to win and who would better do what’s possible to stymie Trumps agenda as governor of Maryland.

Oh please let Trump start tweeting about his support for Hogan! Please please please.

What has he done that is "fantastic"? Seriously.

I'm voting for Hogan.

Stolen from a Facebook post by my friend who just won a seat on the Democratic Central Committee:

In 2014, 88,007 votes were cast for all the candidates running for County Executive. In 2018, 118,749 votes were cast for the Exec candidates, and that's even before we've counted the absentee and provisional ballots of which there could be as many as 18,500. That's at least 30,742 more votes cast in this race, a 35% increase this year over 4 years ago.

To put that in perspective, Larry Hogan beat Anthony Brown by 65,500 votes 4 years ago statewide.

If we can turnout 35,000 more Dems just in Montgomery County alone for the general election than we did last time, still think Governor Hogan is a shoo-in?

I voted for Hogan last time around. It's going to be a while before I vote for a Republican for anything. Sorry, Larry.

I don't think he's really done much as governor, such as choosing not to wade into race issues in Baltimore. A meek decision but probably wise politically. He vetoed the renewable energy bill, which would be enough to get me to vote against him this time around.

And the voting turnout there is horrible. Don’t count on those numbers

Thank you! I was trying to explain this to my husband. Four years ago most of MoCo and PG county didn't show up to vote for anything, assuming Anthony Brown was a shoe in. If democrats in our two counties come out in full force for Jealous, he will become governor. Hopefully, as a state we'll be able to shield ourselves from the awfulness of the current administration and the nightmare that the Supreme Court is about to become.

Tax the rich? Not sure what the Jealous definition of rich is, but I bet anyone with a HHI of $200K and up will be screwed. Around here thats a lot of people. How else are we going to pay for free pre-k and college?
