The Post endorses Brooke Lierman in Democratic primary for Maryland comptroller

In Maryland, two highly regarded Democrats are vying to become their party’s nominee for state comptroller, a job that oversees critical services including tax collection and revenue estimates and also comes with a seat on the powerful Board of Public Works, which vets key public contracts. The July 19 primary pits Del. Brooke E. Lierman against Bowie Mayor Tim Adams to run in the first open-seat contest for the position in more than 20 years. Our choice is Ms. Lierman, whose diligent, detail-oriented work as a legislator in Annapolis and as a civic activist in Baltimore, which she represents, has earned her respect as a serious, substantive candidate.
