  • Candidates who have voted against residents’ interests: Gabe Albornoz (D-At large), Evan Glass (D-At large), Andrew Friedson (D-District 1), Will Jawando (D-At large). Reardon Sullivan (R-County Executive) has said he agrees with their policy.
  • The following candidates kindly responded to our inquiry but did not take a position: Marilyn Balcombe (D-District 2) and Christopher Fiotes (R-At large).
  • Other candidates for County Council not listed above were contacted multiple times and did not reply.

1 In the at-large race, “bullet voting” (voting for fewer than 4 candidates) can help a voter’s favored candidate(s).

2 County Executive candidates were not asked to sign Council pledge. Mr. Elrich has a track record of supporting residents’ interests on wireless zoning: he proposed alternatives to ZTA 19-07 and opposed ZTA 22-01.
