I think there is a lot of pent up sentiment in the county angry at the progressives on the MoCo council who have now rammed through upzoning that's going to bulldoze a lot of middle class neighborhoods. MCPS are failing badly due to way too much misguided focus on equity that's ruining all standards for quality and discipline enforcement. Car insurance is exploding in the area because there are a lot of undocumented individuals driving around with no insurance. Everyone is sick and tired of the county's force acceptance of crime due to the progressive council. The street racing and loud cars are out of control. Gang crime is out of control. The county is also not economically growing compared to our peers since there is so much hostile red tape.

How do we gut the council progressives out in the next elections? Who is in the wings we should rally around to bring back common sense law enforcement, tough standards for education, and who will be against all this upzoning garbage?

That said, we can definitely work to find some council members more like Elrich than the current group. He’s blue and he’s rational.

A R will probably never win county council here. So, if you want change, change your party registration. It's really easy to do. I did it twice, once to vote for someone else during the R party primary for POTUS for 2016 (not Trump), and again back to Dem to vote during the Dem primary in the local elections.

If enough people do this, it can make an impact.

Definitely don’t want Evan Glass to be the next county executive- he’s deep in the developer’s pockets and hasn’t done anything to address the concerns you noted above (if anything he seemed to support many of those initiatives!)
