ROCKVILLE MONTGOMERY COUNTY 2014 ELECTION RESULTS FOR COUNTY RACES
Early election returns show County Executive Ike Leggett and all Montgomery County Council incumbents prevailed in Tuesday's election. In the open seat races, things weren't quite so predictable.
In District 3, unseemly ageism attacks on Gaithersburg Mayor Sid Katz by the Washington Post, and other allies of his primary opponents, appear to have backfired - big time. Katz is squarely in the lead for Phil Andrews' old council seat, and the few voters who turned out Tuesday clearly voted for name recognition, and steady, experienced leadership over youthful exuberance. That said, with the unofficial defeat of current city councilmember Tom Moore, Rockville lost the opportunity to have a city resident on the county council.
Katz will be unopposed in the November election, meaning he will be a de facto councilmember-elect once voting results are final.
All Democratic At-Large councilmembers appear to have won their primary race, although the vote totals of challenger Beth Daly and incumbent George Leventhal were what passed for drama Tuesday evening.
Here are the standings as of early this morning:
DISTRICT 3
Guled Kassim 458
Sid Katz 5,578
Tom Moore 4,527
Ryan Spiegel 3,074
(no Republican candidate in District 3)

Beth Daly 36,787
Marc Elrich 53,394

Robert Dyer 10,283
Chris Fiotes 9,586
