Going to bed, but it looks like it could be tight between #Jawando and Friedson, per the Banner elections page. https://www.thebanner.com/politics-power/montgomery-county-primary-election-results-2026-N67AAW5ZCJATHOC6ZQ6GKVYLBY/

At even money I'd bet on Jawando at this point. Glass is getting rekt, but his vote share is high enough it could certainly affect the outcome. Worth re-posting this now: https://medium.com/@michaelmckee497/first-past-the-post-is-failing-montgomery-2bc2bd1218e5

From a #zoning perspective of course, the county council races are actually more important...

For #montgomeryCounty voters thinking about the Sheriff's race between incumbent Uy and challenger Milam, the county-council president #Fani-Gonzalez just sent this press release.

She's just joined CERG and the Police Union as an actor who seems unhappy with Uy. Personally I have to admit... I'm not 100% certain about what it is that a sheriff does? Like, as opposed to the chief of police?

Fani-Gonzalez endorsing Glass is a pretty spicy development. We're sure as hell gonna get a split vote now! I don't see the winner getting over 50%, after that poll from Friedson combined with this.

Today, learned about two #MontgomeryCounty focused #blogs from the IHatePolitics podcast run by Sunil Dasgupta

Nora Gordon, focused on #education and MCPS: https://noraegordon.substack.com/profile/posts

Jerry Kickenson, focused on #immigration enforcement: https://jkickenson.substack.com/

Both important topics... I think these blogs are worth reading! #Maryland #USA

Action Committee for Transit has published its candidate guides. Here is the guide for At-Large council.

I need to start filling out my ballot...

A blog post I wrote on how #FPTP isn't playing nice with the trend towards nationalization of #politics in the #USA in races at the state and local level, specifically in #MontgomeryCounty #Maryland . Why? Well, primaries have more than two candidates, and as the number of viable candidates goes up, the likelihood of randomness and deliberate vote splitting goes up. If general elections don't matter because voters don't cross parties, this is a bigger deal.

"among homeowners, the council’s tax increase hits lower income folks more than most... but his take on this is worth a read."

That "among homeowners" qualification is doing a lot of work for Pagnucco. Just in case he's forgotten, homeowners are richer than renters, who also make up a large fraction of population in #montgomeryCounty . This piece should've mentioned credits are underused b/c of lack of awareness... it'd be more progressive 2 lower base rates
