The June 23 Howard County primary election is not background noise. Local races shape school policy, public safety, county priorities, and the political climate Jewish families experience every day.

HoCoJAG has released our Primary Election Voter Guide to help members and supporters understand which candidates have earned our endorsement and why.

This guide focuses on the issues that matter to Howard County’s Jewish community, including antisemitism, discrimination, school safety, public leadership, and whether Jewish residents will be treated as full and equal participants in civic life.

Please take a few minutes to review the guide before you vote. Then share it with friends, neighbors, and family members in Howard County.

Local elections are decided by the people who show up. We need our community to show up informed.

If you’re not already a member of HoCoJAG, be sure to join today.

HoCoJAG endorses candidates based on their demonstrated commitment to actively and publicly combat antisemitism in all its forms. Endorsements are informed by candidates’ public statements, one-on-one meetings, and responses to our survey.
