I'm going to vote Blair. I dont' want Elrich for sure, and Hucker and Riemer seem similar though perhaps with slightly better management competence. Blair is a somewhat unknown, but I'm willing to take that risk.
Except.. I'm a registered independent so I guess I"ll have to wait until the general once the elction is alredy effectively decided.
There is no such thing as “registered independent” in Maryland. Nice try though.
What?
My voter card says Independent.
Then you are a member of the “Independent Party”, which I believe was the political party founded by Perot and then went off the deep end. If you are an an actual independent voter in Maryland, your party registration would say “Unaffiliated”.

Please change to democrat. I know over 20 who have. Because of this CE election. The only local election that matters here is the primary. Change back later if you’d like.

Leggett was far better than what we’ve got now.

Hucker co-sponsored with Riemer an amendment to Jawando’s proposed ZTA to upzone every single lot in this county. Not a chance in hell I would vote for him. First, he should know better than to team up with Riemer on anything. Second, it’s just irresponsible behavior from someone trying to position themselves as the responsible choice. So no thanks.
What’s it like to care more about your property value than the lives of poor people?
Can you explain? It’s a foreign concept to me.
It’s curious that if Thrive is so instrumental to help poor people then why is not a single Thrive proponent proposing to tax cuts? Because of course if we pass Thrive we won’t need to fund all of these social programs, right?
Tax cuts???? Seriously??l Our tax rates are already pathetically low as it is now. We need tax increases. Big ones.
Nice try. MC has one of the highest tax rates in the DMV. Not sure why you think tax rates should increase. If anything, MC should decrease them as a means to recruit (or retain) the rich who pay taxes.

Please note that the new Mayor of NYC fully understands that, without businesses, and without the rich, NYC has no money to do anything, including funding liberal social programs. MC's political leadership needs to get real.

Who said anything about poor people? It certainly wasn't Riemer. He makes poor people fill out stacks of forms to get meager help while handing developers millions no questions asked.

I'm voting against Hans because we need more housing and all his housing policies have done for 12 years is cause a housing crisis.
Don’t forget that he’s accomplished that while giving tax money directly to enrich developers.
That was the icing on the cake.

Jawando's ZTA was reasonable. Increase density near transit. Makes perfect sense and didn't draw much opposition. Riemer's amendment was not reasonable and, like Thrive, drew fierce opposition. It's almost like he's trying to poison the conversation. Or maybe he's just not very smart.
