HOWARD COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: Will Howard County go red or blue? Voters see spirited campaign for county executive

Howard County Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Sept. 17.

Missed our County Executive Candidate Forum last week? The turnout was spectacular as Howard County Executive Allan H. Kittleman and Calvin Ballanswered your questions.

For years, the defining issue in Howard County politics has been education — specifically, the direction of the district’s top-flight school system.

But as Republican County Executive Allan Kittleman faces a spirited challenge from Democratic Councilman Calvin Ball, another issue of great importance has emerged in this year’s campaign: the deadly flooding that ravaged historic Ellicott City twice within two years.

As Howard voters head to the polls this November, they won’t just be deciding which candidate is best equipped to lead one of the country’s wealthiest counties and properly fund its vaunted school system. They’ll also be deciding who is best to keep people in the old mill town from encountering destruction again.
