Today is election day in America and it is no different in Montgomery County as not only are there national elections on tap but local ones as well.  Statewide on every ballot, there will be a question concerning election worker protection and candidate accountability—questioning whether any candidate be subject to civil penalties if they interfere with an election worker’s official duties.  Another question concerns a 3% additional tax on income greater than $1 million. There is also a question concerning assisted reproductive health referendum and whether health insurance should cover assisted reproductive treatments. 

In contested races, the presidential election sees a showdown between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, County Board District 5 between Russell E. Beason and Richard Wendel, District 7 between Robert Corso and Timothy L. Fogle, and Judge of the Circuit Court between Christopher B. Hantla and Bryant “Butch” Hitchings to fill the vacancy of the Honorary James L. Roberts and whether or not Judge Amanda S. Ade-Harlow shall be retained.
