As someone in the unique position of watching the campaign season after 15 and a half years of being on the inside, I have pretty strong feelings about who are the right folks for electoral office. Is that person an honest broker — ie — with the experience and grounding in reality that leads to genuine capacity for problem solving? Is that person humble or does that person take credit for shared initiatives or make promises that cannot be kept?

Does that person have the demonstrated temperament to treat people he or she disagrees with respectfully? Governor — Rushern Baker. You try wrestling with an entrenched school system and come out alive! Tough, rational and caring. County Executive — Rose Krasnow — an experienced, yet independent voice. The former Mayor of Rockville, she has wide ranging financial, government and nonprofit management expertise, and is deeply grounded in the county and community issues.

Gabe Albornoz — long experience with the reality of our community and the ways of government through the Recreation Department. Evan Glass — a staunch community organizer, known for his work with the Gandhi Brigade. Council District 1 — Reggie Oldak — the only candidate who actually knows the county and how the Council works as a former staff member and a long time community advocate.

Reggie Oldak is a Democratic Candidate for Montgomery County Council District 1.

Today we look at fundraising by the Council District candidates. As with our prior posts on the County Executive and Council At-Large races, we start with a note on methodology. First, we calculate total raised and total spent across the entire cycle and not just over the course of one report period. Second, we separate self-funding from funds raised from others.
