I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July and enjoyed the beautiful weather. With parades in Arbutus and Catonsville and time with my family, it was a busy and great day.
This week, I wanted to highlight a couple of stories and events coming up that show how much your voice and vote make a difference in Baltimore County. |
| Last of the 2014 primary election results | |
 The race for the delegate in 44B was still undecided last time you heard from us. Charles Sydnor, III secured first place. However, the second place slot was a close race between Aaron Barnett and Pat Young.
On July 7th, the Board of Elections finished counting absentee ballots and declared Pat Young the winner...by 34 votes.
Most elections aren't this close, but they can be. And when they are EACH vote matters.
If you missed the primary, make sure you are registered to vote for the general election on November 4. You can check your voter registration status and your polling place here.
You can find complete results from last Tuesday at this Board of Elections website here. |

 | | Plan for Relay Elementary School |
The designs for Relay and Westowne Elementary Schools have been released. Both schools will accommodate 700 students, have air conditioning, and be LEED certified. Construction will take roughly 18 months and the schools are slated to open in July 2016.
These two schools are part of the plan to relieve overcrowding in Southwest Baltimore County, which also includes a new Catonsville Elementary and an addition at Westchester.
To see the designs in more detail, you can can download the presentation at the BCPS website. |
