Elrich Wins Endorsement from Montgomery Teachers
Councilmember Marc Elrich received the endorsement of the Montgomery County Education Association, the union that represents teachers, counselors and other educators.
In a Thursday interview, the Democrat called the endorsement a “big boost.”
“People have a very positive view of teachers, and they should because teachers educate their kids. And I think they make an enormous contribution to society — not always well-compensated for it. So, I think t’s a really good solid endorsement,” Elrich said.
Elrich said the two main endorsements in local races are the teachers and the Washington Post endorsement. Former health care executive David Blair has won the Post endorsement, helping to set up what some see as a two-man race.
“He claims to be a progressive Democrat, so if he’s a progressive Democrat, we must agree pretty much on everything. I don’t believe he’s a progressive Democrat,” Elrich said.
