Frederick City's local primary elections are on Tuesday, September 14! After requesting questionnaires and interviews with all of the candidates, we are proud to endorse four candidates for the Board of Aldermen:
-
Donna Kuzemchak has served on the Board of Aldermen 1998-2009, and again over the past term. She has advocated for zero waste policies, including a compost pilot program in this year's budget, and proactive, safer planning surrounding the Superfund site at Ft Detrick.
-
Ben MacShane has served one term on the Board of Aldermen. In that time, he sponsored the resolution creating the joint City/County Climate Emergency Mobilization Work Group, served on the Frederick City Sustainability Committee, and used his voice to advocate for Zero Waste policies state-wide.
