It's either Jawando or who is closest to a Republican in Mont Cty, Friedson. Jawando and Glass will split vote. Jawando might get by because people still numbingly vote the Apple Ballot, because they think ever increasing school budgeting is always in their best interest.

They’re all splitting voter bases. Friedson and Glass are splitting the YIMBY vote, which was Riemer’s base last time. I think both Friedson and Glass will run stronger than Riemer did and Jawando won’t run as strong as Elrich did.

You don't understand MAGA at all. There is NO WAY in hell they'd register as Democrats. Independents, yes. Some rational Republicans, maybe. Never MAGA. Don't you see it's a cult?????

LOL yes it is a cult of stupidity we agree 100%

However MAGA is all over Next Door screaming about registering as Dems for the primary. Moderately MOCO pushed this narrative on ND and Reddit. His MAGA followers ate it up.

Yes people are saying that, targeting the 26% who are registered as unaffiliated and cannot vote in the primary except for board of education seats. That's a complete exercise in stupidity. There are twice as many unaffiliated voters as Republicans. Those are the people more likely to switch parties to have a say in the election. They hate the Democratic party too, just not as much as MAGA does.

Agree that the YIMBYs are split between Glass and Friedson. But if you are a single issue voter on development/housing over all else, Friedson gets your vote.

Which is why I think Glass gets more votes than Friedson in the end (even if Jawando wins). Glass has broader appeal on other issues, and the name recognition of being at large. He already won a county wide election. Friedson hasn’t.

Do you think Glass edges out Jawando?

I honestly think it is a toss up. Remember the last county executive race was won by under 30 votes. But I sure hope so...

With all the money that Friedson has spent and that has been spent on Friedson’s behalf, he should be up 10 to 20 points. He’s wasted it on propagating half truths (or lies) about his opponents. Maybe Friedson pulls out a victory but I think it will be Glass or Jawando.

I do think the PAC/developer spending is skewing the perception of this race. You see Friedson stuff everywhere, and there are lots of ads for him and attacking others. But that reflects $$$, not votes.

Glass was the first person to support a moratorium. It was narrowly defeated by a 3-2 committee vote. Jawando conveniently recently proposed a more aggressive moratorium (which Mink has been all over).

Jawando announced he was doing a bill in February. Glass introduced a bill in May. The bill that Glass introduced wouldn’t have affected Dickerson, while Jawando’s bill would.

The more important thing is that Friedson has opposed both bills during candidate forums. Friedson has received a lot of help from a super PAC funded by big tech and developers, so it’s not politically possible for him to be strong on data centers. We can’t have Friedson. It has to be Glass or Jawando.

And that right there is why I am choosing Glass. I want a county executive who actually does things, as opposed to saying he will do things. Glass has a record of actually doing the work and getting bills through. Not posturing.

So you preferred a flawed bill that would allow the data center at Dickerson to proceed over a bill that would stop the data center at Dickerson and have a longer moratorium? Interesting perspective. Jawando and Glass introduced their bills days apart. I’m happy that Jawando took a few more days to make sure that his bill would impact Dickerson.

Lack of follow-through is a key flaw of Jawando. I'll bet that bill of his never makes it to law. He changes his tune depending on which way the political winds are blowing, usually choosing in ways that personally benefit himself. If Jawando wins, he will be a disaster for the county. Voted already for Glass.

They had a hearing yesterday on both bills. How is Glass following through more than Jawando?

It is also a fact that Glass’s bill as drafted did not cover Dickerson. Jawando’s bill was stronger.

Also you seem to be criticizing Jawando for listening to people and taking positions based on public input. You’d rather politicians just ram things through over the objections of the people? A lot of residents are smarter than the elected officials and that’s especially true when you get into areas that require specialized knowledge.

Neither of these is fact.

Can you back it up at all?

Glass’s bill literally excluded the zone that includes the Dickerson project. I take your point that he expected the ZTA to pass. That being the case, a more effective proposal would have been amending the ZTA. Jawando’s bill provides for a more comprehensive and longer moratorium than Glass’s bill did as originally drafted. Jawando’s bill is a more effective bill. Glass’s was performative. Friedson will oppose both. Vote Glass or Jawando if you care about sensible data center regulation.

💯 the glass bill was window dressing so it looked like he pushed but didn’t include a most affected community

Yes, it strikes me as 'buying' exposure and votes, and little substance. But there's always one. There was the guy that owned that big kids gym and other businesses. Out of nowhere guy with a ton of cash hoping to rush past everyone else. I've also never lived in a solidly blue state before here (not counting DC...) so maybe it's typical? I studied political science and don't recall this scenario.

This is a one-party county. If you feel powerless among.a sea of Dems, I can see people switching to the Democratic Party to have some say - e.g., they would vote for Friedson, certainly not Jawndo. Honestly, decades ago, Friedson might have been a member of the Republican Party.

I am an admitted NIMBY and against more bike lanes. I read synopses of all three candidates on these issues and Jawando seemed the least bad. Am I wrong? Any recommendations welcome.

All of them are pretty YIMBY. Jawando is more pragmatic and more likely to question developers’ proposals than Glass or Friedson so Jawando is probably your guy.

So interesting split here. If it was just NIMBY, as in "no big apartment buildings and keep single family zoning" Jawando is your guy. But he would absolutely put in more bike lanes.
