I'm voting against Hans because we need more housing and all his housing policies have done for 12 years is cause a housing crisis.

Don’t forget that he’s accomplished that while giving tax money directly to enrich developers.

Exactly.

I'm going to vote Blair. I dont' want Elrich for sure, and Hucker and Riemer seem similar though perhaps with slightly better management competence. Blair is a somewhat unknown, but I'm willing to take that risk.

Except.. I'm a registered independent so I guess I"ll have to wait until the general once the elction is alredy effectively decided.

There is no such thing as “registered independent” in Maryland. Nice try though.

Not true. My husband is an a independent in Maryland. Voter registration card states it, etc.

No, Hucker pushed Thrive while realizing the negative impacts for homeowners wouldn’t affect him in TKPK. Utter hypocrisy, not visionary. And I’m a Dem and care about poor people. I also care about my property values. As a middle class person, that’s a big part of my nest egg. Screw anyone who suggests that middle class families like mine have to bear the brunt of “solving the housing crisis” in MoCo while the truly wealthy in this county get richer and richer.

Their support for Thrive and corresponding blind eye to the impacts of middle class families like mine is mind boggling. Also the complete lack of any substantial business development in MoCo and utter chaos in MCPS. And crime, too, while we’re at it.

Hate to say it, but this is exactly why Democrats will lose big in 2022. Not everyone is as staunchly anti-GOP as I am. And if the county had a decent Republican (non Trumpie / not an anti vaccine / anti CRT racist) centrist I’d vote for them just to take a vote away from the clown show above.

Elrich does not support thrive.

Elrich does not support thrive.

Yes, he does and has done several posts on his updates talking about the benefits of Thrive and the vision for county. He absolutely supports Thrive, especially those elements that affect the eastern part of the county the most.

Then he’s a member of a party called the “Independent Party”. He may want to look up their platform to make sure it reflects his values.

This is much different from being an “independent voter”, which in Maryland is called “unaffiliated” because you choose not to affiliate with any political party.

Blair is as close to a centrist as you will find in this county.

It’s too bad Riemer’s and Hucker’s vanity campaigns ruined Blair’s chances. It’s very hard to unseat an incumbent in MoCo or anywhere else. It’s even harder with this split in the field.

I have two theories about this. First, while neither will admit it both are actually running for 2026. Second, I think the TPSS cabal that running this county prefers Elrich to Blair for many reasons, the largest being that they are running circles around Elrich but more importantly Blair challenges their political control. So they are not too concerned about keeping him out of power and actually prefer it.

Don’t get cutesy. He does support the elements of Thrive that enable the evisceration of middle class communities near metros where many families - immigrants, blue collar workers, etc - can still afford a SFH. He just doesn’t think Thrive goes far enough. So yes, he had objections to Thrive but not about the fundamentals that mean many very diverse, middle class neighborhoods in Glenmont, Wheaton, and Silver Spring will be eaten alive by.

Don’t keep us in suspense!

What terrible monster is coming to eat the diverse middle class neighborhoods alive?

Google is your friend. Or the Post. Or the DCUM thread on Thrive.

You are probably confusing Elrich with Riemer or someone else. He opposed Jawando ZTA that would do exactly the thing that you claim he supports.
