Potter wins union backing in Montgomery County executive race
Potter maintains support from the county teachers union and the service workers union as efforts to switch union backing to write-in candidate Kramer fail. Montgomery Education Association president Mark Simon says Kramer asked about reconsidering the position, while Potter emphasizes that contracts are reasonable and should be kept, pledging to support negotiated terms vigorously. Local 400 official Gino Renne attended Potter’s event, and AFL CIO liaison Jim Morrow notes the radio report spurred questions about revenue gaps.
