[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way it will be Calvin Ball. Howard County had a moderate (Republican) County Executive, but voted Democratic and are now outraged with what they got.

He is so unpopular in HoCo because of development and redistricting, I can't see him as a viable Gubernatorial candidate.[/quote]
Reading this thread from the beginning, obviously Ball didn’t run for Governor but it will be interesting to see the results of his re-election campaign for HoCo  Executive. So far without any mail-on votes counted he has twice as many votes as the top GOP candidate.[/quote]

I am very, very impressed with Calvin Ball, and, yes, he has my vote! He is a real boots on the ground county executive-  a functioning and participating member of the community. He lives in an older community in Oakland Mills, not some McMansion in the western part, so he us able to relate  to the actual issues and he has good people around him to help him do that. The best way to describe him is "authentic." There's no ivory tower. He's responsive,  vocal,  proactive and addresses issues in real time. He uses social  media the way a CE should...with relevant info, personal and community info and facts,  and he becomes a friend to everyone  if he wasn't already. He has addressed  equity, senior issues, building and  zoning, etc. No, he doesn't run the schools, he has nothing  to do with redistricting  :roll:,  but he addresses  issues pertaining to schools, particularly good during  the pandemic, and works really hard to solve problems.

Keep an eye out- he has a remarkably bright future in Md.
