In Maryland comptroller race, two views of the same job
Del. Brooke E. Lierman, a Democrat from Baltimore, and Harford County Executive Barry Glassman, a Republican, are presenting dueling visions of the job of comptroller to voters in the final days of the campaign. Democrats on the statewide ticket have a comfortable lead in polling and fundraising, but political analysts say the comptroller’s race could prove relatively competitive compared with other statewide races as Glassman works to separate himself from the extreme wing of his party.
