[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the Kensington Labor Day parade, Ficker tried to get my kids excited about ice cream at next year’s parade, so he’s at least qualified to run for student council. [/quote]

I was there. Wanted to chat with him a bit, but had to cut out, as the crowd of people ahead of me wanting to meet him was too long. I'm starting to feel shut out, because both times I've called his campaign asking for a yard sign, they told me they'd run out and were waiting for more. In any case, he's got people's attention. We'll see if there's enough of them. [/quote]

I know a volunteer involved in his campaign. I think Ficker was kind of blind-sided by the Floreen thing and now he has to get his campaign operations together now that he stands a fighting chance to win. Meanwhile Elrich and Floreen are experienced politicians with well-oiled campaign machines behind them.

One thing that's helping Ficker is he qualifies for public campaign funding. It's Elrich's pet legislation, and Ficker is benefiting from it. Check out this video Ficker produced with some of that money, quite professional:

In the last county exec election 4 years ago, the Republican (Jim Shalleck) got 34% of the vote against incumbent Leggett. So if Ficker gets at least 34% this time, he may actually win if the votes for Elrich and Floreen are evenly split among Dem voters.
