I'm voting for Jealous and I am excited. I voted for Hogan last time and I have not been impressed. he has done very little except not try to piss off Dems so therefore he does nothing. the few things he has done that I support, like trying to make community college free, Jealous will continue. I like that Jealous wants to legalize marijuana and use the revenue for schools. I think that he will use the casino money as a supplement not replacement for education dollars, while Hogan has diverted over a billion. i want to be able to eventually send my kid to public school and I can't do that right now. and the next governor of Maryland will get to appoint 5 judges to the court of appeals.
while I think Jealous is too progressive and I hate to see him with Sanders or Booker, I don't think he is like a typical Democrat in the state. and I like his business background. I did not care for O'Malley.
after reading all the comments, it is a little disheartening that people who post on a politics forum had never even been to Jealous' website.
I know too many black people voting for Hogan. my mom's entire walking group apparently is. she said she is torn, but her biggest concern is her grandkids. I guess what I say is having a hard time competing with her old people walking group. most people I know voting for Hogan have kids in private school and live in PG county. UMC. I have my theories on why they vote the way they do.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I had been to his website during the primary, but hadn't dug into it deeper since he won.
Which...yeah, is lame. But I was pretty sure I was voting for him so it wasn't a priority.
It is interesting to me that several other people gave me all reasons to vote against Hogan rather than the reasons to be excited about Jealous. Is this a blue state complacency thing? Or we're just all so busy hating the GOP that we don't have the bandwidth to look closely at our own candidate? I dunno.

I think voting against the GOP instead of for Democrats has been the Democrats MO and why they keep losing.
a while ago I read an article talking about what the priorities were for reps and dems and what the politicians were discussing. democratic politicians spend more time on the topics that are greater importance to republicans; republican politicians also spend the most time discussing topics important to republicans. so for many Democrats it feels like their politicians aren't listening to them.
Early voted in Howard County this AM and it was packed but moved along efficiently. Very proud of everyone coming out in crappy weather and everyone was so pleasant and nice to each other.

I feel like I would have been a lot more engaged if I lived here before the primaries. I just moved to MD in July. Realistically I will not vote for a Republican no matter what in this political climate, so 🤷

We went to the Bain center at a few minutes after 10. It was busy but we were in and out in 15 minutes.

Jealous is for schools. I care not about the calendar except that not having a Spring Break this year sucks. Hes for funding full day universal PK, and fully fund the Thornton Commission.
Our BOE race is good and this one crazy wacko better not get in.
Not governor related, but does anyone have insight on Baltimore County Sheriff? I was all set to vote straight-ticket D, but this is giving me serious ick: www.fisherforsheriff.com/deadbeat.php
Magee is running on opposing sanctuary cities, though, so he's almost certainly worse. I can't find much on either of them and my podcast obsession has taught me how important sheriffs are.
I was at the Wanda Sykes show in moco ttinight. Dave chapelle cane out to stump for jealous. Then jealous came out. He seemed very quiet and shy. But Dave Chapelle spoke very highly of him and made me WANT to vote FOR Jealous
