[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was progressive.   After watching a bunch of sloppy progressive policies get implemented, where the politicians cared more about headlines and credit than about actual impacts and results, I've moved more center. According to this Pew Political Typology quiz, I'm an establishment liberal.

https://www.pewresearch.org/topic/politics-policy/political-parties-polarization/political-typology/

So, as liberal as you can get without identifying as progressive.  I want change, but I don't want to blow up systems (and therefore hurt people) in the process.

I voted all Democrat at the federal level.

Here, I voted:

Governor: Wes Moore
Comptroller:  Barry Glassman (R)
AG:  Anthony Brown (reluctantly)

County Executive:  Reardon Sullivan (R) (wanted Blair because Elrich is awful.   Will vote R to get rid of Elrich)

At Large Council:  Albornoz (D)
                           Glass (D)
                           Sayles (D)
                           Patel (R) protest vote against Jawando, but it won't do any good.

My District Councilmember:  Voted for the D, who is liberal but not crazy.  If I were in 4 or 5, I would have voted for the R.

Board of Education:

Julie Yang
Valerie Coll
Esther Wells (for some balance and accountability)
Karla Silvestre

Thanks for the link to the poll, it identifies me as “Outsider Left”, mainly because I rate both parties badly.

I agree with a lot of your votes. Here is how I’m voting.

Governor: Moore (Cox is an embarrassment)
Comptroller: Glassman (R) (I would have been fine voting Lierman until I found out that she is trying to block the bridge expansion)
AG: Brown (agree with reluctantly voting Brown. R candidate is an insane embarrassment, like Cox, but Brown is incompetent)

County Executive: Reardon (don’t mind Elrich too much, but the economy will not improve with him. Thrive is bad and we need expansion of bridges and roads. Reardon shares that position. Elrich wants nothing to change.)

District Council: Blank (I hate my CM)

At Large Council: Sayles, Patel, Blank, Blank (More upcounty representation and protest against incompetent incumbents. Was pro-Albornoz until mishandling of Thrive/Planning Board fiasco).

Board of Education: Erickson, Yang, Wells, Coll (Anti-incumbent. MCPS is at a precipice and McKnight is not good. Need more accountability and back to basics.)

Question 1: For (who cares, it is basically an ego thing for judges)

Question 2: For (no brainer, Heather Mizeur should not be allowed to pretend that she lives in both Takoma Park and District 2)

Question 3: For (more cost efficient for tax payers)

Question 4: Against (decriminalization is fine, but legal recreational sale is bad for Maryland and will hurt POC communities the most)

Question 5: For (if we are doing anything where the only other people doing it is the state of Alabama then we should stop doing it)

Question A: Against (it is a CE appointment, the Council should not get a say and they have proven very incompetent at oversight so why make County Attorney more political)

Question B: For (Damascus is the only dry jurisdiction left in MoCo)
