If you're pro-housing in MoCo, do you vote for Elrich or leave it blank

That was basically the level of discourse of many vocal Thrive supporters.

Democrat here and I'm voting for Sully. I'm also voting for Wes Moore. I encourage split-ticket voting.

I am voting Republican on several tickets this year.

The corruption is rapidly becoming apparent to the public now. Diversity of thought is crucial. Or the corruption and incompetence will continue unabated.

agree with this. too much corruption and mismanagement of $$$ happening now. Willing to give Sully a chance. I dont vote party, I vote history, of which Elrich is not impressing me, and what a candidate's focus will be.

you already know how Elrich is in office. want 4 more years of this? although housing doesn't appear to be a key focus for Sully, he has plenty of other positive changes he wants to make. I am sure you have researched both. Choose the lesser of 2 evils. the fact that he is R shouldn't be the main driver of your decision. R is what this county might need for a term or two.

Here is a quote from Reardon Sullivan's campaign site:
"The Montgomery County Public School administrators are not focused on providing the best education for our students. They have wandered far away from teaching basic reading, writing and arithmetic, and are focusing on the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) principles, diversity, and graphic sexual material to elementary school children. They even commissioned a $900,000 School Boundary Analysis, the focus of which was to redraw school boundaries for the goal of achieving school diversity even to the extent of bussing students to other school districts, despite the fact that parents bought homes to be in specific school districts."

If you think this any of this is reasonable/accurate, then you have bought into GOP misinformation and are obviously not a liberal or a Democrat. Fine, you obviously have the right to vote for whoever you want. But MoCo voters don't elect wackos like this guy.

Elrich is better than Sully by your own assessment so vote for Elrich. Don’t do this purity test or comparison to some mythical candidate or sit it out. That’s exactly how we got Trump.

Doesn’t matter one whit. He has zero say over the schools.

I didn’t know the above but I agree with it. 100%. The bussing initiative was nuts and a huge waste of money. I agree that the schools should go back to true basics. Do you honestly think this progressiveness has been good for the county? I think it has caused a bigger divide among races, a loss of the middle class since there aren’t enough well paying jobs in the county for everyone and definitely a huge increase in crime. I live in Wheaton and it has absolutely deteriorated in the past couple decades. My kids who attend a majority minority school have been caused racist just for glancing at a POC. They walk the halls with their heads down so they don’t mistakenly look at someone the wrong way. We live in an ethnic neighborhood and we do not know our neighbors despite efforts to get to them. I lived in this house for 50 years! There is petty crime everywhere. Violent crime happens a fair amount but is never reported. I used to take the metro to work but now drive to avoid glenmont station where I have been threatened and have had my car vandalized. We need to be tougher on crime both adult and teens. We need more businesses that can pay living wages, we need to focus on the basics for education and stop pushing kids thru that write at a 5th grade level and can’t do basic math. I am not voting for another 4 years of this BS.

Okay racist

I think Elrich has done an acceptable job, considering the circumstances. I'm fine with postponing development frenzy. All of us who own sfhs in east county know we will be overrun with cheap housing developers will make bank from, while leaving us with the crappy schools.

Ok, I campaigned for Marc last time and I’m a closet Sully voter this time.

Did you know that most PoC communities opposed the proposal to bus students to other areas because the kids would be too far from home, and they prefer neighborhood schools? Did you also know that Reardon Sullivan is a Black man, a product of MCPS, a registered engineer, and a self-employed businessman running a technical engineering services company?

Which specific "proposal" are you referring to?

Given the state of the Republican Party I cannot vote for an R under any circumstances. I didn’t vote in that race. You can always leave the race blank.

A lone Republican to balance out a runaway county council actually seems like a solid, reasonable idea.

Signed,
A Democrat
