I fully expect Krasnow and Blair to split the vote and give the win to Elrich, whereupon our tax base will flee, businesses will choose NOVA, and our schools will degrade further, along with our property values. In turn, the County will collect even less in taxes and have less money for the schools, which will then get even worse. Yay.
Nevertheless, I will cast my vote in an effort to prevent that. Does anyone have any actual data regarding who has the best shot - Blair or Krasnow? I will vote for either if it means a chance at defeating Elrich.
Don't do that. Vote for Frick. He has a larger following than you might think. Vote for the best candidate, period.
Actually, Elrich is the only one of the current Council members running who gives a *&(^ about existing neighborhoods. If Leventhal wins, housing values will plummet - because this is the policy he wants to see in order to make MoCo more affordable. Elrich is more moderate and reasonable - independent really - than you've been led to believe by those who fear him. He's kind of a parallel to Hogan. Ie, Hogan is to Republicans as Elrich is to Democrats.
Elrich, moderate? That's crazy. He is quite far left.

Ugh. I do prefer Frick. I can’t bring myself to vote for Blair but really don’t want Erlich. I’ll probably end up throwing away my vote in voting for Frick, sigh.

Blair said he thinks the county runs itself. He’s a potential nightmare.

I’ve also been struggling with this. I like Krasnow and Frick the best too but will probably suck it up and vote for Blair. I guess.

No. People either love Elrich or hate him.

+1 I honestly didn't even see anything suggestion that Krasnow is a contender. Blair has the WaPo endorsement and is self-funding an army of get out the vote people and brochures (and he himself was in the metro station this morning when I got in.)
