Between Election Day last week and the Fourth of July this week, our summer is shaping up to be a busy one!
Thank you to everyone who found time on Tuesday or during early voting to make their way to the polls. Unfortunately, local elections do not attract as many voters as national ones, but that means that your vote, the conversations you have with family and friends about voting, and the work our volunteers do matter even more!

When the polls closed at 8 pm on Tuesday, one campaign season ended but another is beginning.
This November, Tuesday's winners will be on the ballot again, and the choices we make will have an impact on our community here in Southwest Baltimore County.
Congratulations to the winners and to all the candidates who ran on their values and ideas for our community.
In District 12, Clarence Lam, Terri Hill, and Eric Ebersole will continue on to November, alongside our current state senator Ed Kasemeyer.
In District 44B, current delegate Shirley Nathan-Pulliam is the Democratic nominee for State Senate, and Charles Sydnor, III came in first in the race for delegate. The second place spot is still up for grabs -- in a contest between Patrick Young, Jr. and Aaron Barnett, absentee ballots are being counted.
You can find complete results from last Tuesday at this Board of Elections website here. |

The first community input meeting about the new Catonsville Elementary School will be held at Catonsville High School on July 15th. The new Catonsville Elementary School is expected to open in August 2016 at the Bloomsbury Community Center. The first design will be presented to the Board of Education on July 8th. This new school will have 700 seats and air conditioning. Along with other new schools and additions in Southwest Baltimore County, this new school will fundamentally solve our overcrowding problem.
