And then there were three candidates running for Montgomery County Executive in the June 2022 primary.
County Executive Marc Elrich previously announced he is seeking re-election. He was elected to that position in November of 2018. As of June 1, he has two opponents, County Councilmember Hans Riemer and businessperson David Blair.
As Riemer strongly hinted previously, he will run for that office as will Blair, who lost to Elrich by fewer than 80 votes in June of 2018.
Riemer is kicking off his campaign at noon on June 12 at the Silver Spring Brewing Company in Metro Plaza in Downtown Silver Spring. “Montgomery County needs progressive leadership that is effective and forward thinking. It is time to move on from the politics of the past. You know my deep convictions for Democratic values and my record as a councilmember with a vision for the future,” he wrote in announcing his candidacy.

So why were 83% of the student arrests in Montgomery County Public Schools over the last three years Black and Hispanic students? To answer that question, we must examine MCPS’ longstanding and discriminatory Student Resource Officer (SRO) Program.
MCPS has a long history with SROs.
In 1999, President Bill Clinton issued a nationwide federal grant for those police positions following multiple school shootings that year.
The program was officially initiated in Montgomery County in 2002, three years after the Columbine shooting. It was known as the Educational Facilities Officers program.
