COUNTY EXECUTIVE CANDIDATE FORUM

The Frederick County Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Frederick County Building Industry Association and the Frederick County Real Estate Association hosted a County Executive Candidate Forum on April 7, 2022. Three currently registered candidates, Daryl Boffman, Jessica Fitzwater, and Kai Hagen were asked a series of questions from the Chamber, FCBIA, and FCAR. The forum was recorded and can be viewed here. The candidates were also asked to provide their answers to the questions asked in writing. The responses that were received are listed below. 
Senator Michael Hough submitted the following statement: "Given that I do not have a primary and was participating in the Maryland General Assembly’s legislative session, I was not able to participate in this debate. Once the Democrat candidate is selected I look forward to debating them in the General Election. I have a proven track record as a State Senator of fighting for lower taxes, less regulations and working closely with the business community. If anyone has questions they can contact me at mike@mikeforfrederick.com or via phone at 301-969-2409"
