The At Large endorsements are fine. But there are a lot of questionable endorsements in there, like almost all of them. Ginsburg, Pope, and Fani-Gonzalez would all be terrible choices. Like the absolutely terrible.

I don't know the others very well, but Pope is a surprising choice, and he keeps popping up in odd places. Like Moderately MoCo endorsed him. And he's not moderate. At. All.

I'm a big Omar Lazo fan for District 6. He's very progressive but he's also a businessman and gets the hellish nightmare of trying to run a business in this County.

I take it as a compliment when people from both extremes of the politial spectrum call us "not a moderate".

Since you're discussing the picks did you not mentioned that we picked Omar Lazo as well?

Pope is extremely strong on focusing on schools and I really liked his interview on I hate politics podcast for that reason when researching district 5.

We talked to all candidates we could and researched hard and canvassed those that help behind the scenes on the page and here is what we came up with:

It also has most of the candidates responses to our questionnaire.

The problem is they made one district out of North Bethesda and Takoma Park/Silver Spring. No way for one person to represent both when they often have competing interests.

Al Carr is low energy. But he’s better than Ginsburg, who’s claim to fame is running an astroturf organization for White Flint developers.
