As the 2024 Montgomery County Primary Election approaches, we’ll update this page with all the information from a variety of local news sources so you can look at everything in one place.

MoCo360 (formerly Bethesda Beat) Voters Guide
MoCo360 has a Voters Guide for most of the positions up for election which you can see here.
Board of Education
If you know our blog, you know that education is one of our biggest focuses.
We hosted the first ever in person Moderately MOCO event – a BOE candidate forum which you can watch here.
Below is a graphic showing the answers to our Yes/No rapid fire questions during the forum.
We did not do a questionnaire this year but you can see lots of candidates answers to other questionnaires if you read on.
Montgomery County Taxpayers League
The Montgomery County Taxpayers League created some handy charts on all candidates positions generated from the Montgomery Perspective Questionnaires (next section) which you can see here grouped by race or everyone.
Montgomery Perspective Questionnaire
In the meantime, Adam Pagnucco at Montgomery Perspective has done a really good candidate questionnaire, and he is posting the answers by all candidates on a different post for each question.
So far he has posted answers about side payments to MCPS employees, teachers salaries, “what they believed was MCPS’s biggest problem, their experience with budgets, their opinions on the incumbents, their positions on opt outs and their positons on police officers in schools“
MoCo360 Voters Guide
The previously discussed MoCo360 Voters Guide contains information from most of the Board of Education candidates which can be found here.
They also made individual posts for all 3 races: At Large, District 2, and District 4
