Description
The 2022 Maryland primary elections are over and the state is waiting for results. Sunil Dasgupta talks with Adam Jentleson, a former staffer for Senator Harry Reid, who together with like-minded friends created a PAC that spent close to a million dollars on television ads attacking incumbent Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich’s housing record. Whether they succeed or not, the entry of PAC-spending in local elections has been a big bone of contention and brings to the suburbs a hardball national political style on behalf of pro-housing policies. Music by Rockville-based rock and roll band, The Treading Lemmings.
