\u201cDo you have an experience with Marcel Rich that voters need to know about? Should Marcel Rich have a second chance?”<\/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>Build a giant statue of that extremely handsome guy that is currently the County Executive, who is definitely not me.<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Which superhero would you hire to run MCPS and why?
    <\/em>Is there a superhero that clones things? Because I’d have them make more of me to run all of the government agencies.<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Mosquitos or cicadas?
    <\/em>Ticks. <\/strong><\/li>
  4. If Elon Musk offered 44 billion dollars to buy Montgomery County, how would you respond?
    <\/em>Simple. Order an immediate study of potential options for business locations, deploy inspectors to create some new codes, and eventually lose the bid to Northern Virginia.<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Which Golden Girl are you and why?
    <\/em>I’d like to think of myself as Blanche, but that was before she allowed three roommates to live in her single-family zoned neighborhood.<\/strong><\/li>
  6. If you had to send a mixtape to your opponent(s), what songs would it include?<\/em>
    Probably just the sounds from my favorite white noise machine, a.k.a. wealthy NIMBYs protesting development.<\/strong><\/li>
  7. Who would you Kiss\/Marry\/Kill between Bethesda, Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg?
    <\/em>I’d kiss Prince George’s County where I prefer to send affordable housing, marry Frederick where I prefer to send jobs, and then kill Montgomery County – If I can’t have her, nobody will.<\/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>“Wanna work for my administration?”<\/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>How nervous are you that I might win reelection?<\/strong><\/li>
  10. If you had to earn a very important endorsement with a cheesy pick-up line, what would yours be?
    <\/em>Hey baby, are you affordable housing? Because I have the sudden urge to screw you.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
