Sep 14, 2010 23:59 - 2 Comments
The District 17 Democratic primary race between Sen. Jennie Forehand and former Del. Cheryl Kagan remained too close to call definitively as election day ended. But, with all precincts reporting, Forehand had the lead:
- Jennie Forehand: 3,830 (52.09%)
- Cheryl Kagan: 3,522 (47.91%)
This race may not be called this evening, given the current margin a recount is very possible. However, Forehand’s lead has been widening as late precincts come in. Maryland Politics Watch has called this race for Forehand.
The Montgomery County Council at-large race was also close, but with 3/4 of the county’s precincts reporting Maryland Politics Watch has gone ahead and called it. The big news was that challenger Hans Riemer’s race was successful, with incumbent Duchy Trachtenberg bearing the brunt. Results:
- Marc Elrich: 45,009 (17.81%)
- Hans Riemer: 38,437 (15.21%)
- Nancy Floreen: 36,973 (14.63%)
- George Leventhal: 36,385 (14.40%)

- Fred Evans: 10,372 (4.10%)

Why do you only post the Democrat primary results? I don’t see anything about the Republican primary results.
Fair question. The bias is not against Republicans, it is against noncontested primary races.
Unless I am mistaken, only the Democratic primaries in these races were contested. (E.g., there was only one Republican candidate in District 17 State Senate Republican primary, and he won 100% of the vote share.) We also did not report on the District 17 Democratic State House race, as those were uncontested.
The only contested Republican primary race that bears on Rockville was that for County Executive, and it was not close:
Rosenfeld, Douglas E: 12716 votes, 66.10% vote share
Vovak, Daniel: 6,521 votes, 33.90% vote share
Rosenfeld will face Ike Leggett in November.
