Howard County Executive Race Heats Up

Howard County’s June 23 primary election is shaping up as a showdown between two seasoned Democratic contenders, Deb Jung and Liz Walsh, both with nearly a decade of County Council experience and deep roots in the community. As voters weigh school funding, affordability, and resistance to federal immigration policies, Jung highlights her budget expertise and decades of local school involvement, while Walsh touts her legislative wins—including millions for schools and environmental protections—and her grassroots campaign style. Both are participating in the Citizens’ Election Fund to stay accountable to voters, with state lawmaker and businessman rivals also making final pitches. The winner of this primary will almost certainly become Howard County’s next executive. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
