Jawando declares victory in Montgomery County Executive primary
Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando declared victory Friday in the Democratic primary for county executive even though votes are still being counted.
Jawando has amassed roughly 40% of votes tallied so far, tailed by Councilmember Andrew Friedson with 34% and Councilmember Evan Glass with almost 22%. Jawando said Glass called him Tuesday night to concede. Friedson, who has yet to concede, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“With the trend lines, the way they’re going, we are going to be the Democratic nominee, in probably one of the widest margins we’ve seen in recent memory,” Jawando touted Friday.
Mail-in ballots are still being counted, Jawando said, as well as 6,000 day-of provisional ballots. “We have done very well in the day-of ballots, so I really am confident,” he added.
