The Republican County Council member declared victory Monday after receiving around 19,000 votes, more than 95% of ballots that had been counted so far in his district.
County Executive Steuart Pittman gained ground on County Council member Jessica Haire in the Anne Arundel County executive race Friday after the first canvass of mail-in ballots showed the Democratic incumbent received twice as many votes from the first 11,200 votes counted.
While many of the names on the ballot will be familiar to primary voters, a few new candidates conducting write-in campaigns will appear on the ballot including Democrat Scottie Griffin who is hoping to unseat Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Michael Gendel, a Democrat, who will be challenging Republican Nathan Volke who represents District 3 on the County Council in a last minute surprise for the candidate who has been running solo in the primary and the general for months.
