Now he wants to do a third term as CoExec, as that is the level of term limits in place (most counties in MD limit the CoExec to 2 terms not 3).

That would be 24 years on the council and coexec. We need new faces.

There is a ballot initiative underway to limit the position to 2 terms:

I blame the quality of his opponents. Blair is a prime example -- spends tons of money but can't provide a compelling message as to how he differs from Elrich. Just saying you have business experience is not a compelling message.

Yes, I'm excited about the prospect of a rematch between Blair Warner and Erich Stroheim.

Elrich was never a governor, and he is never been a mayor.

Elrich is only a counterbalance on development. That’s the only place he’s moderate. On business and tax issues he’s a Socialist.


Words have lost all meaning.

As a card-carrying DSA member, Elrich shows just how far left the council is.

Yup.

https://montgomeryperspective.com/2023/12/08/elrich-says-he-is-running-for-reelection/

I'm looking forward to the 2026 primary, in which Elrich, Blair, Friedson, Jawando, and Glass all run and Elrich wins by six votes.
