Will Jawando, Evan Glass and Andrew Friedson faced off at the Olney Theatre Center this week. In his opening statement, Jawando brought up Ella's Bake Shop, a longtime vendor at our Market. Kathy, the owner, happens to be his Mom! Candidate Evan Glass knows where to find great sourdough bread! Hope Klein, his top aide, is applying to be a vendor. And lastly, Matt Post, candidate for delegate, was a Market intern, when he was in Middle School. The County Executive candidates are fighting to replace Marc Elrich. The Democratic primary is June 23rd.
