Notes: Poll Shows Blair Closing in on Elrich, Mizeur Launches Ad, Perez Campaign Unionizes, and More


Four years ago, Marc Elrich and David Blair finished 77 votes apart in the race for Montgomery County executive. A poll released on Friday shows that — with the all-important Democratic primary just days away — the pair could be headed for another photo finish. According to Data for Progress, a San Francisco-based firm, Elrich and Blair are tied at 34%, with County Councilmember Hans Riemer at 20% and 11% undecided. Candidate Peter James, who ran for congress as a Republican in 2012, has one percent support. Early voting ended on Thursday and the primary is July 19.
