With early voting beginning tomorrow, I want to get my picks out the door. I’ll provide a fully annotated version in a few days. Note that I only cover my home districts. For other districts, I suggest Progressive Neighbors’ recommendations.
For MD Governor: Write in “Mickey Mouse”
None of the declared Mickey Mice deserves your vote.
For MD Attorney General: Brian Frosh
For US Congress MD District 8: No endorsement.
Chris Van Hollen no longer gets my vote because he supports NSA surveillance. I don’t know a thing about the other two candidates.
For MD State Senator District 20: Jamie Raskin
For MD House of Delegates District 20 (select up to three): Sheila Hixson, Will Smith, Jonathan Shurberg
For Montgomery County Executive: No endorsement
Phil Andrews wins on integrity, but is too conservative to support a decent minimum wage. Ike Leggett is at best very disappointing. Doug Duncan must be stopped!
For Montgomery County Council At-Large (select up to four): Marc Elrich and Beth Daly only
Do not vote for any additional candidates: your vote for one of them could be the vote pushes Elrich or Daly into fifth place.
For Montgomery County Council District 5: Terrill North
For Montgomery County State’s Attorney: John McCarthy
For Montgomery County Board of Education At Large: Jill Ortman-Fouse
Other races: no position
