Andrew Saundry is a candidate for Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his website (www.andrewsaundry.com<\/a>):
\u201cAndrew Saundry is a Progressive Democratic organizer based out of his hometown of Germantown, MD. A recent graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park, Andrew is proud to serve Montgomery County Democrats as President of the Germantown Democratic Club and an At-Large member of your Democratic Central Committee. He is committed to expanding the big tent that is the Democratic Party by registering new young voters and ensuring disillusioned voters find a home with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are his answers to our important questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. If the MoCo government was a dictatorship, what\u2019s the first thing you would do as its unquestioned supreme leader?
    <\/em>Rename the County \u201c58 Corners\u201d for the 39 Census Designated Places and 19 Municipalities. That and monorail.<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Which superhero would you hire to run MCPS and why?
    <\/em>Spider-Man because, despite his age, he\u2019s the only superhero that I\u2019m aware of who actually went to a public school.<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Mosquitos or cicadas?
    <\/em>Cicadas.<\/strong><\/li>
  4. If Elon Musk offered 44 billion dollars to buy Montgomery County, how would you respond?
    <\/em>He\u2019s low-balling us. I would settle for no less than $500 trillion and a half share of his Mars colony.<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Which Golden Girl are you and why?
    <\/em>I\u2019ve never actually seen it, but based on a quick Wikipedia study of the characters, Dorothy?<\/strong><\/li>
  6. If you had to send a mixtape to your opponent(s), what songs would it include?
    <\/em>What\u2019s a mixtape?<\/strong><\/li>
  7. Who would you Kiss\/Marry\/Kill between Bethesda, Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg?
    <\/em>I\u2019m hurt by the exclusion of Germantown from this list, so I pass.<\/strong><\/li>
  8. You\u2019re watching a baseball game and the umpire blows a call that ruins the game for your team. Tear him a new one in 6 words or less.
    <\/em>I wouldn\u2019t say anything, I would simply relocate his car and tell him that the \u201cCity of Silver Spring\u201d towed it.<\/strong><\/li>
  9. On a scale of 1 to 10, how nervous are you that this survey will be posted all over social media?
    <\/em>4<\/strong><\/li>
  10. If you had to earn a very important endorsement with a cheesy pick-up line, what would yours be?
    <\/em>I was always terrible at pickup lines, but here it goes: Are you the Ag Reserve? Because I want to be conserved in office and an endorsement from you would be a historic investment to that end.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Oh, Andrew, for someone who has never heard of a mixtape, you make our heart skip a beat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
