GOP county executive candidate Jessica Haire faces criticism for developer donations, leads Herb McMillan in fundraising

Republican county executive candidate Jessica Haire is facing criticism for receiving large donations from several groups linked to a developer in Silver Spring. Haire received about $90,000 from businesses listed at the address of Halle Companies, a developer connected to various projects around the county, including a proposed landfill in Odenton. Seven of the donations, each of $6,000, the maximum allowable by the State Board of Elections, were made in April while she received eight installments of $6,000 from companies at the Silver Spring address in June.
