Everything Riemer claims as a top priority has gotten worse since he’s been in office, especially housing. He talks a lot and says a lot of nice sounding things but he’s been an abysmal failure as a legislator. |
I am curious why Elrich over Blair. Is it because he looks Republican, as the poster above stated? He’s fresh air for the county. Things aren’t good right now, so I don’t understand why more Elrich years would make them better. (Increased crime comes to mind first. Failure to attract business comes next.) |
Awesome! Thank you!! |
Not the PP but both of these are exaggerated. And Elrich has done a very good job with the pandemic- MoCo did very well because of it. |
Once again, notice your equated fellow liberals with Republicans. I guess if you are far, far left your perception might get skewed. If you are only going to acknowledge your own very tiny sphere, you’ll fail to see how many people actually support you. |
I agree he did well with the pandemic, but that’s it. I disagree that the others are exaggerated. It’s no secret that Montgomery County has significantly increased crime and a dwindling police force, something that happened in large part because of Elrich’s lack of support. As for business, look at how much has been lost to Virginia. |
It’s the blue blazer, car salesman smile business chat that causes mistrust |
If you want folksy, go with Elrich, but if you want progress, Reimer all the way. |
I just can’t get behind choosing a candidate based on appearance. Have you even read his platform? |
Yes, read his platform. Then look at how the county has done. There’s a reason he doesn’t run on his record. |
The original poster was referring to Blair, I believe, saying that Blair has an appearance that causes mistrust. Have you read Blair’s platform? As for how the county has done and not running on a record, that would be Elrich. |

Look, I voted for Blair, so I'm not an Elrich guy. But in WHAT world is Elrich 'folksy'. He's an old grumpy curmudgeon. There's nothing charming or folksy about him |
“Says nice things?” He speaks so inarticulately that all of his campaign speeches are some form of “c’mon guys”. |
Fair point. New poll has Riemer in an even more distant third. https://twitter.com/DataProgress/status/1548012096096391168 It really is a two-way race between Blair and Elrich. |
