Fitzwater outraises Hough in county executive race since primary, but remains well behind

Frederick County executive candidate Jessica Fitzwater raised more than double the amount that her opponent, state Sen. Michael Hough, brought in from early July to late August, according to new campaign finance reports. Fitzwater, a Democrat who since 2014 has represented the east side of Frederick on the County Council, raised $124,000 between July 4 and Aug. 23, the period for the latest campaign finance reports.
