Montgomery Democratic Central Committee’s Pick for District 18 Ballot Vacancy Is Aaron Kaufman

The Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee on Tuesday picked one of its own, Aaron Kaufman, to fill a vacancy on the July 19 primary ballot. The committee’s appointment process was undertaken in a rush after current Del. Al Carr (D) chose to withdraw from re-election at the last minute and run instead for County Council. Because of redistricting-related delays in the state’s 2022 primary process, the committee had only four days — over a holiday weekend — to designate a new candidate for the ballot.
