[quote=Anonymous]The issues with MCPS are a great lens to view all of the candidates.

For starters, none of them demonstrated any leadership by timely raising questions about preparation for safe return to school after either the summer or winter breaks. A timely intervention would have been in July for the September return and early December for the January return. Remarkably, both Hucker and Riemer have kids in MCPS.

So looking at the response, what we see are Blair totally staying silent and ducking the issue and the other 3 wading in late to score points. Riemer, my guess is based on political calculations from outcomes in VA, seems to have expediently aligned himself with keep schools open at all cost faction.  This group is also more consistent with his core constituency of comfortable white liberals and are also very active on social media where Riemer seems to live. Hucker seems to have aligned himself with the close schools/go virtual faction, which is more closely aligned with the Democratic base. Elrich, in keeping with his history, has both aligned himself with the public sector unions with the “pause” and also as is in keeping with his history also proposes a reasonable “compromise” hybrid solution that is probably unworkable because it’s much too late to implement something so difficult.

Each voter can look at these responses and decide for themselves which they prefer and vote accordingly.

No one is covering themselves in glory.
