Any other MoCo (MD) folks out there?

The County Executive race is really pissing me off. I didn't vote for Elrich, but he seems like a good guy and I have no problem with the county going in a more progressive direction. He also won the damn primary.

Floreen is the de facto Republican nominee, which is why you often see her yard signs paired up with Hogan signs. And if she splits the vote too much, we'll wind up with that Ficker lunatic. Is the county really this beholden to real estate developers? Am I overreacting?

Will return to MoCo to vote, and plan to vote for Elrich.

I wouldn't be surprised if the county is beholden to real estate developers, it's what they do, isn't it?

Sorry not a better answer.
