Katie McDermott - https://katieforward1.com The future of Annapolis is on the ballot this year, and the first big step comes on Tuesday, September 16th, with the Democratic Primary. While there are no contested Republican primaries, Democratic voters will be making critical choices in Ward 1, Ward 3, Ward 4, Ward 6, and for Mayor. The winners here will move on to November's general election, where they'll be joined by candidates in Ward 2, Ward 5, Ward 7, and Ward 8. This election could not be more important. Annapolis will elect a new mayor and see a majority of the City Council change hands. If you've ever wanted your voice heard—if you've ever wanted change—this is the time to show up and vote. Local elections determine how our neighborhoods grow, how our streets are maintained, how our taxes are spent, and how our future is shaped. Every single vote matters, and staying home is simply not an option. To help voters make informed decisions, we invited every candidate in a contested race to join us for an unedited podcast conversation. Each candidate was asked the same questions—none of which were provided in advance—and all had the opportunity to answer freely, speak at length, and close with their own pitch to voters. These were not polished campaign ads, but candid conversations meant to give you a better sense of the people behind the campaign signs. We encourage every voter to listen to these conversations. They're raw, honest, and a chance to hear directly from the people who want to represent you. Don't miss this opportunity to make your own decision based on what you hear—not just what you see on a mailer or a yard sign. September 16th is your chance to make a real impact on the future of Annapolis. Mark your calendar, remind your neighbors, and most importantly—show up and vote.
