Montgomery County Council Debate Sunday
Aug 6, 2010 8:11 - 1 Comment
There are two election campaigns this year that are contested and have a special bearing on Rockville, Our Fair City. They are both Democratic primaries and the election day is September 14.
One is the race between Sen. Jennie Forehand and former Del. Cheryl Kagan for the District 17 Senate seat.

The other key race is for the four at-large seats on the Montgomery County Council. The four incumbents, Marc Elrich, Nancy Floreen, George Leventhal, and Duchy Trachtenberg are being challenged by Jane de Winter, Fred Evans, Raj Narayanan, Hans Riemer, and Becky Wagner.
That’s an awful lot of candidates!
You’ll have a chance to meet all of them this Sunday, August 8 at a debate sponsored jointly by the District 17, District 39, and Asbury Democratic Clubs. The candidate forum will be held just up the road at Casey Barn in Gaithersburg:
Sunday, August 8, 3:30 p.m.
Casey Community Center (Casey Barn)
810 S. Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg.
The event is free and open to the public.
