Maryland has a special primary tomorrow to vote on the candidates who can run for recently deceased Elijah Cummings spot as US House Rep for MD Dist 7.
I live in Howard County, I thought Cummings district was Baltimore City ... somehow I guess Columbia MD is Dist 7 so I get to vote tomorrow.

Voter thought process (for me but Im a pretty average generic dude)...
Jay Jalisi - I was going to vote for him bc he is the only sign I have noticed up in my neighborhood. one of those big like corner signs with his picture on it. Looks like a decent guy, hes a doctor ...
I just read he doesnt have family.
I got family. How could he begin to relate to family needs. If you dont have kids, you just cannot understand things like the importance of affordable after school care.
-------------
So now Im checking out the names of the Ds. Like 20 of them. I just want to make sure Im not voting for someone that has been unemployed and is just running to get a name for themselves.
Then I see this dudes picture.
^^ William Newton, hes been in the automotive industry for 23 years but theres a problem ... he an R.
Luckily my vote as a D doesnt matter aorund here bc it will be a D sitting as rep for Dist 7 no matter what.

Im going to vote for the R .. for the only reason that the guy looks cool. hes probably a major dick ...

Jill Carter as a Dem looks to the best candidate and I imagine and hope she wins. Still voting for the beard guy though.

How the hell is Baltimore City in the same district as Columbia MD? The needs, problems, climate are nothing a like. Seems like most candidates are exclusively addressing Baltimore City needs like the Inner harbor, Balt City schools ... what about the burbs of HoCo?
sorry for this disjointed post ...Im just trying to piece things together.
