Spenders Lose Ground in Frederick County Election
In Frederick County, money didn’t decide the General Assembly race outcomes. Louise Snodgrass narrowly won a House seat with 13,607 votes while spending far less than rivals. Ronald Sundergill spent 67,629 and finished fourth. George Littrell spent 146,848 yet lost to Timothy Ferguson, who spent 67,525 and owes about 20,000. Debts and fundraising shaped the contests as Republicans outspent Democrats, with debt repayment plans and PAC money noted for several candidates. The lone Democrat winner was Sue Hecht, who surpassed $35,000 fundraising expectations with early big-giver support.
