Can you give examples of where people don't want to work with her?

Look at the endorsements.

I'm sending mine in on Monday.

Turnout was under 16% in 2015. Last count by the city (in the article) was 14%, so likely that turnout will increase over last election but not by much. Not sure how frequently the city is updating the list of returned ballots - I submitted mine at city hall last week and am not yet listed.

Can I see the debates online somewhere?

I wanted to support Ashton. But then she stole email addresses from our PTA/school directory to send out political messages. She has no integrity.

They’re candidate forums, not debates. There are three and you can see them on Rockville 11’s YouTube channel.

They have to get it by 8PM on Tuesday so if the mail is slow you won’t vote. You can turn it in manually.

I didn’t like her. She’s in the “no build” category but won’t just come out and say it. She also doesn’t want to cull the deer population.

The idea of the West End voting for the Fox News candidate. Good grief.

The Fox News candidate? Get a life, you freakin' loser.

This is fact, not opinion. Which candidate has been on Fox News more than her? In fact, which other candidate has been on Fox News ever at all?

She’s been supported by the Republican Party and has literally been on Fox News many times.

"She’s been supported by the Republican Party"

1) How so?
2) So what?

2 - she’s hiding that she’s republican because she wants to be elected. I won’t vote for a republican and certainly not a trumpist

Team Rockville is actively promoting being endorsed by commie Will Jawando. Certainly won't vote for anyone on that slate.

Mayor: Newton (in a landslide)

Council:
Feinberg (last election’s leading vote getter)
Cotte Griffiths (the long arm to the PTSA)
Ashton (see above)
Mullican (too many people see signs, do no research)

What I want to happen
Mayor: Newton (Moreso: not Onley)
Council:
Pittman (seems very sensible and community centric)
Pierzchala (won’t bow down to MCPS)
Cotte Griffiths (good mix of civic/school advocacy experience)
Perkins or Littlefield (similar platforms, both experienced, mostly a middle finger to the slates)

Other thoughts:
Kuan Lee - hasn’t impressed in the forums, only clear position is to stop development
Hedrick - a walking dad joke
Myles - sincere, but knowledge doesn’t run too deep
Gottfriend - almost comes across as human (and I agree with much of his platform)

You may want to do some research on Cotte Griffiths. She wouldn't dare ask folks in her own neighborhood to put up signs for her, as she doesn't even speak to them. How do you live in a neighborhood for 20 years and have NO relationship with the vast majority of the people who live there?

OP here, probably not worth trashing or building up candidates at this point since I'm guessing everyone on this thread has already voted. Any more predictions?

We get it, you’re a hardcore trumpist Republican. The good news is, a single Republican can’t even get anything up for a vote or debate.

I think that anyone who calls Will Jawando a "commie" isn't going to be happy voting for ANYBODY running for Rockville government, except possibly for the one candidate who appears on Fox News.

I wouldn’t call him a commie. And I’m liberal. But he’s off the rails.
