With the exception of one MCPS story (because of course, it’s MCPS), August was dominated by our Most Influential series. For comparison, check out what this list looked like when we did it in 2008, 2009 and 2020.
These are the people who made all four lists:
Marc Elrich
Brian Feldman
Rich Madaleno
Adam Pagnucco
Jamie Raskin
Gino Renne
Chris Van Hollen
These people made three out of four:
Kumar Barve
Peter Franchot
Ike Leggett
Gustavo Torres
I don’t know if these lists mean anything, but they get a lot of eyeballs and they’re fun to read!
I have had suggestions for other lists. A perpetual one is a “least influential” list. That would be pretty mean to any elected officials who appear on it. As for non-elected people, I would have to finish first. After all, if I had any juice around here, we would not have rent control!
Enough with the lists. On to September!
