I think Perez may be more electable in November, and after Hogan we can't count on a Democrat winning.

I think it's great that we get to choose from a number of candidates (at least in Montgomery County) whose liberal/progressive positions I agree with, but it makes choosing harder.

By “more electable” I think you mean “not Black”. But Maryland voters have consistently rejected Perez type Democratic candidates foisted on them by the Democratic party. If a Montgomery County Democrat is going to win the governorship in Maryland (not sure when the last time that ever happened), I can guarantee that it won’t be a guy like Perez who’s probably never been to three-quarters of the state.

What do you think about Moore?

Wes Moore, like O’Malley before him, is backed by the old money Roland Park crowd. That gives him the institutional credibility to win that these other guys lack.

I live in Roland Park and can confirm this is 100 percent accurate.
