Former Maryland Governor Parris Glendening has endorsed Hans Riemer for Montgomery County Executive. Glendening, a Democrat, served as the 59th Governor of Maryland from January 18, 1995, to January 15, 2003. Previously, he was the County Executive of Prince George’s County from 1982 to 1994.

His full endorsement letter, sent out by the Riemer campaign, can be seen below:

WTOP’s Kate Ryan reports that Montgomery County Councilmember Tom Hucker has withdrawn his name from the County Executive race.

Hucker, who currently represents District 5 as a Councilmember, announced that he had formed an “exploratory” committee ahead of an expected bid back in July of 2021 before officially filing in December of last year.

Reardon Sullivan has announced his campaign for County Executive. Reardon is currently the chairman of Montgomery County’s Republican Central Committee (MCRCC), which is official organization of the Republican Party in Montgomery County.

He is currently the only GOP candidate to file, and would go up against the winner of the Democratic primary between incumbent Marc Elrich, David Blair, Tom Hucker, and Hans Riemer.
