Ahead in tight races, candidates in election limbo express cautious optimism
he primary was nearly two weeks ago, but some Montgomery County candidates remain in election limbo as canvassers continue to count ballots.
The group includes Gaithersburg Mayor Jud Ashman, who ran for the District 3 seat on the County Council representing parts of Gaithersburg and Rockville.
Ashman was leading the next-highest vote-getter, Rockville City Council member Izola “Zola” Shaw, by about 400 votes Friday.
He said his day job and family have helped him keep the undecided race in perspective. Plus, he’s run for office before, so he knows the stress that close races can cause.
