[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I don't know who to vote for/against - but I strongly disagree with the proposed changes to zoning.

Who should I vote for or against?

Thank you![/quote]

Well, you vote against term limits to try to keep Elrich for a while.

You can look up others running to see where they align on any similar issues.

You can always vote for Hogan as a protest.[/quote]

As a protest against what? Hogan is a developer.[/quote]

A protest vote.  You can vote for Hogan as a message to Maryland Democrats, including local ones in the county pushing this upzoning nonsense, that just because we are a blue state doesn’t mean that we aren’t without power to make disagreement known within the party.  Our own little “uncommitted” campaign, in a way.[/quote]

You could.  But I agree with others that people should have some perspective here.  That race is close, and Hogan could win as a result of what you think is just a throwaway protest messaging vote.  That race has no impact on local zoning and it could give republicans control of a chamber, potentially under a Republican president.  Is that really worth it just to send a message?

If you really want to send a message, vote against the term limits (even though that too would have limited impact, at least it wouldn't have a negative impact on the whole country.)[/quote]
