Jawando is at least honest about who he is and listens to people. Friedson claims to know everything and wields what little knowledge he actually has to to mislead.
Jawando is not honest and he does not listen to people.
The only things Jawando has going for him is:
- He's relatively young
- He's handsome
- He's tall
- He's a "respectable" Black man (married, lawyer, speaks well and has kids)
- He's somewhat attached to Obama
That's it.

No thank you.
All of the candidates will be about same elsewhere, so tuis is my number one issue.

Friedsen is the best of the bunch running for executive (which is not saying much). I have no idea what the person was referring to about his wife.
Her family owns some lower end apartment buildings with maintenance problems but none in MoCo as far as I know, so I don’t see that as the dealbreaker for Friedson.
To me the dealbreaker for Friedson is that he seems very gullible and too willing to give his donors large taxpayer handouts. Friedson likes to pretend he’s an economist and budget wonk but he’s a lightweight on both subjects. Madaleno has run circles around him on the budget, and Friedson’s economic initiatives haven’t brought anything new to the table and more importantly haven’t delivered growth. Glass is basically Friedson light. Glass’s signature bill was banning leaf blowers. That leaves Jawando. I don’t like where he’s landed on a number of issues but he seems to listen to more people than just Friedson and Glass, and I give him a lot of credit for that.
