TOPIC: A lot of focus is on Virginia’s elections today but there are some elections in Maryland today too
Annapolis voters will decide whether to re-elect Mayor Mike Pantelides, a Republican. He faces challenger Gavin Buckley, a Democrat. All eight seats on the council are up for election….  Gavin Buckley wants a ferris wheel in Annapolis
In College Park, three candidates are challenging Mayor Patrick Wojahn for the post. Voters in all four city districts have competitive races for city council. FLASHBACK: College Park: The dumbest town in America? (Baltimore Sun) –– On Sept. 12, the City Council and mayor of College Park voted to give noncitizens the right to cast a vote in all municipal elections. Some council members suggested that a decision of such import should involve residents, perhaps through a ballot referendum, but the mayor cast his tie-breaking vote against that suggestion. Some council members then suggested that immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally be excluded from the group of noncitizens, but the mayor again cast his tie-breaking vote in opposition to that suggestion. When the council finally voted on the amendment, four members were in favor of it, three were opposed, and one abstained. The measure passed much to the satisfaction of the mayor and victorious aldermen.
Frederick Mayor Randy McClement is running for re-election and faces Democrat Michael O’Connor.
Also, the Maryland Dems are gearing up to take on Gov. Hogan for next year: Eight try out as Democrats hold casting call for candidate for Maryland governor. (Baltiimore Sun) –– Eight candidates for governor auditioned Saturday as Maryland Democrats held a casting call for the role of nominee to challenge Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. The joint appearance before the Democratic Party State Central Committee at a Lanham union hall was the first to bring all eight together in the same forum. It was not a debate, but the event gave the candidates the opportunity to show off their skills at pummeling Hogan’s record and excoriating President Donald J. Trump.
And will GOP in blue states like Maryland get hit next year by the GOP tax plan?
