Election Day is coming up fast. If you have yet to vote, join us for our election roundup. We talk with journalists Martin Austermuhle, Danielle Gaines, and Margaret Barthel about the races on the ballot in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. And don't forget to check out DCist's voter guides and election coverage. Even though Halloween is over, three spooky words are still haunting Arlington County: missing middle housing. The Arlington Planning Commission submitted a new draft missing middle housing plan that addresses some concerns raised this fall. ("Missing middle" housing refers to housing types between single-family homes and large apartments. Think duplexes, triplexes, or small buildings with eight units.) Arlington County Board Vice Chair Christian Dorsey (D) joins us to discuss. Plus, we ask whether any of Virginia's voter registration issues have affected Arlington County. And where does Dorsey stand on ranked-choice voting, something the county is considering? It's election season! WAMU and DCist have put together voter guides and election stories for D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Find them here.

The Bell County District Attorney's Office filed capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges against Kendrick Donnell Gaines, 39, the man accused of shooting and killing two girls, and wounding his wife, during a domestic disturbance in Killeen over the weekend. Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke arraigned Gaines, a retired U.S. Army soldier, and set his bond at $2.5 million. The suspect is being held at the Bell County Jail. An affidavit for arrest obtained by KWTX identified the woman as Danielle Gaines and the slain girls as Makayla R. Martin, 11, and Alyssa Whitfield, 6. The 38-year-old Danielle Gaines was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck. The affidavit states Danielle told police officers her husband shot her and the girls during an argument. The woman said she ran to a neighbor's house to call 911 for help. She was eventually transported by EMS to Baylor Scott & White in stable condition. When police arrived at the scene, they spoke with a teenaged boy inside the home who said he was in a different room when he overheard an argument followed by the sound of gunfire. The boy said he walked out and noticed Kendrick Gaines holding a gun. The boy also ran to a neighbor's house to call for help. The affidavit further states a neighbor assisting the wounded woman also noticed Kendrick Gaines walking out of the home holding a gun. Police officers arriving at the scene located the suspect in the front yard of the home where the shooting occurred. The man's weapon was “found on the ground nearby,” the document states. A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the families of two girls who were allegedly shot and killed by Gaines. The account states Kendrick Gaines was Martin's stepfather. That information has not been officially confirmed by police. Source: kwtx --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/leah-gordone/support

Danielle Gaines of Maryland Matters, Bryan Sears of the Daily Record, Pamela Wood of The Baltimore Sun, and Ovetta Wiggins of The Washington Post discuss how Covid-19 has changed their reporting

For many politicians, fundraising isn't their favorite part of the job, but its necessary. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue has become more fraught than ever. Instead of crab feasts and soirees, many lawmakers this year turned to virtual events with pay-as-you-can price tags. Maryland Matters reporter Danielle Gaines caught up this week with one lawmaker who's making the most of quarantine with a series of creative online fundraisers. And we like to end our podcast on a bit of a lighter note, and it didn't take long for Maryland Matters editor Josh Kurtz to find a way to bring the Beatles into this mix. He chats with an Eastern Shore lawyer with a familiar name – and they both claim to be the state's biggest Beatles fan.

A special Midday broadcast today, live from Hodson Auditorium on the campus of Hood College, in historic Frederick, Maryland.Our topic today: Frederick at the Crossroads.Founded in 1748, Frederick has seen its share of American history. It was founded at the crossroads of a major north-south Native American trail and the east-west route from the Chesapeake Bay across the Appalachian Mountains to the Ohio River Valley. Frederick County is home to Ft. Detrick and a branch of the National Cancer Institute. The Catoctin Mountain Park, and the presidential retreat, Camp David, are here.It is old. And beautiful, as anyone who has been in downtown Frederick can tell you. But while it may be old, it is anything but standing still. In fact, the city and the county are among the fastest growing parts of Maryland. The population of Frederick City, with its 70,000 residents, has grown 32 percent since 2000 and a whopping 73% since 1990. And with growth like that, Frederick finds itself at a crossroads once again. How does it honor its past, while being thrust into the future by incredibly rapid growth? How does it remain charming, despite the pressures to become a bedroom community of Rockville, Bethesda and Washington, DC?Lots to talk about today with Tom's guests:Hood College President Andrea Chapdelaine is here. In 2015, Dr. Chapdelaine became only the 11th president of Hood College, which is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. She has more than two decades of experience in higher education, including serving as provost and chief academic officer at Albright College in Reading, Pa. from 2006 to 2015.Frederick Co Executive Jan H. Gardner is also here. Ms. Gardner is a Democrat and Frederick County’s first County Executive, since its transition from a commissioner system to a charter system.

As Roger Wilson continues his day job working for Frederick County, he hopes to add member of the Frederick Board of Aldermen to his résumé in November. Wilson, 45, currently serves as Frederick County’s director of government affairs and public policy, and he plans to keep his position if elected to the board. He has been juggling the job and his political campaign since filing in May, and earned the third-highest number of votes in the Democratic primary, which was also the highest of all the non-incumbents in the race. Wilson joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss his candidacy.

Derek Shackelford wears many hats, and come November, he hopes to add another one designating him as a member of the Frederick Board of Aldermen. The 47-year-old teacher, minister, consultant, and NCAA basketball official wants to serve on the board to help all city residents benefit from the positive direction the city is going. Shackelford joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss his candidacy.

From helping to draft better legislation to fixing neighborhood issues, Democratic Alderwoman Kelly Russell said she has plenty left to do as an elected city official. The 58-year-old retired Frederick police officer is running for a third consecutive term on the Board of Aldermen. She earned the second-highest number of votes in the Democratic primary, just one vote less than fellow Alderwoman Donna Kuzemchak. From rallying for better and safer schools to sitting behind the City Hall dais addressing important municipal issues, Alderwoman Donna Kuzemchak has spent years fighting for what she believes is right. The 57-year-old Realtor, grant writer, office assistant and sitting Democratic alderwoman is seeking re-election to a second consecutive term on the Frederick Board of Aldermen. But her experience on the board dates back further than that, as she was first elected in 1998 and served consecutively until 2009. In the September primary, she received more votes than any other aldermanic candidate. She has also raised the most money of any candidate for alderman. Russell joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss her candidacy.

Nate Power is concerned about the direction the city of Frederick is going and wants to change its path from the City Hall dais. The 65-year-old military contractor is a Republican candidate for the Board of Aldermen. He was one of four party candidates who filed on the last day of the filing period in July and, like all of the Republican candidates, avoided a primary and went straight on to the general election. Power joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss his candidacy.

Proud father, business owner and young progressive are three characteristics that Ben MacShane, a Democratic candidate for the Frederick Board of Aldermen, says he is proud to possess. The 36-year-old owner of Frederick-based Principled Contracting, a construction business that does commercial renovations, is a political newcomer who broke into the scene with a bid for the Board of Aldermen this year. He earned the fourth-highest number of votes in the Democratic primary and is running an aggressive general election campaign. MacShane hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss his candidacy.

From rallying for better and safer schools to sitting behind the City Hall dais addressing important municipal issues, Alderwoman Donna Kuzemchak has spent years fighting for what she believes is right. The 57-year-old Realtor, grant writer, office assistant and sitting Democratic alderwoman is seeking re-election to a second consecutive term on the Frederick Board of Aldermen. But her experience on the board dates back further than that, as she was first elected in 1998 and served consecutively until 2009. In the September primary, she received more votes than any other aldermanic candidate. She has also raised the most money of any candidate for alderman. Kuzemchak joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss her candidacy.

When former Frederick Alderman Alan Imhoff realized on the last day of the filing period for the 2017 city election that only one Republican had filed for alderman, he decided to come out of retirement and try his hand once again at public office. The 70-year-old retiree and part-time professor entered the world of politics as a Democrat in 2001 with an unsuccessful run for mayor. In 2005, he switched his party and desired office and was elected as a Republican to the Board of Aldermen. In both 2009 and 2013 he ran again for the board on the Republican ticket but lost both years in the general election. Imhoff joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss his candidacy.

Hayden Duke is hoping the second time is the charm in a bid for the Frederick Board of Aldermen on the Republican ballot. The 38-year-old long-term substitute teacher and graduate student ran for office in 2013 but lost in the Republican primary. This year, he is one of five Republican candidates who moved straight to the general election and was the first to file for office over the summer. Duke joins hosts News-Post city reporter Mallory Panuska and city editor Danielle Gaines to discuss his candidacy.
