Anne Arundel County endorsements for: executive, select county council races and a key ballot question.Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman is a difficult politician to pigeonhole. The 61-year-old Davidsonville horse farmer, a Democrat, has demonstrated himself to be socially progressive but also fiscally prudent. His choice to raise taxes in his first year of office may have given fodder to his Republican opponent, County Councilmember Jessica Haire of Edgewater, but it also set the county on a path toward balanced budgets and much-needed school- and public- infrastructure improvements these past four years.
