The Democratic County Executive Race is our top close race that we will likely be chasing all the way into August.
However, we are declaring this a two person race as recent polls seemed to indicate and giving Marc Elrich and David Blair the yellow light.
Rolling County Moderately MOCO Scoops
These are county updates with races that appear to have a clear leader unlikely to go behind.
These updates will only come as new races are added to the Scoops list as they get the green light.
These races are NOT called… the light system is there to show where things lean now.

Sheriff appears to be set now after election day voting with Chief Deputy Sheriff Max Uy taking a commanding lead.
Board of Education At Large – incumbent Karla Silvestre gets our green light for the first of two general election spots with little known Mike Erickson getting green now too after Election Day and currently in second over Michael Fryar and Domenic Giandomenico.
Board of Education District 1 – MCEA endorsed Grace Rivera Oven appears to be set to go against Esther Wells in the general.
Board of Education District 3 – MCEA endorsed Julie Yang rockets to the top of all BOE vote totals with over 60%. Scott Joftus and Marcus Alzona remain relatively close at this early time.
Board of Education District 5 – it appears MCEA endorsed Valerie Coll and incumbent Brenda Wolff are likely to be facing off in November with big leads over Dawn Iannaco-Hahn.
The Top 4 Positions in the Democratic County Council At Large appear set with incumbents Gabe Albornoz, Evan Glass, and Will Jawando off to commanding leads and Laurie-Anne Sayles coming strong appearing to take the last spot.
For the final spot, Laurie-Anne Sayles currently has a pretty solid lead (~2.39% and 5,700 votes) but a lot of votes still to go with Tom Hucker and Scott Goldberg trailing. We do think this is enough to give her the green light adding Election Day totals for now though so it’s pretty safe.
For the County Council, there are several with commanding leads but still a small % of the total ballots in including many election day precincts still missing.
Note: all Republicans that ran unopposed note listed here so only showing Democrats.
We are not calling these races just stating who has the clear lead now.
Links to the full data again are here
- District 1 – Andrew Friedson wins unopposed
- District 2 – Marilyn Balcombe
- District 3 – Sidney Katz
- District 4 – Kate Stewart
- District 5 – Kristin Mink
- District 6 – Natali Fani Gonzalez
- District 7 – Appears to be the closest Council district but Dawn Luedtke has a strong lead
Incumbents State Attorney John McCarthy and Clerk of the Circuit Court Karen Bushell appear safe to keep positions
Judge of the Circuit Court – appears pretty safe for the 4 sitting judges.
Note that in order to advance to the general election, candidates must be in the top 4 in either of the Republican or Democratic Primaries. At this point both challengers are pretty far off in both primaries.
Reardon Sullivan appears set to be the Republican Party’s County Executive nominee
