Former Deputy Transportation Secretary and Maryland Transportation Authority Director Trent Kittleman, now running for Howard County executive, won cheers and applause from a big Republican crowd at a large private home on Wednesday, February 17. Kittleman has an opportunity to win, given the national mood, said Donald Norris, chair and professor of public policy. "The question is whether that [national] scenario is going to play out in the richest county in the country," he added. Given Howard’s history of good leadership from both parties and the job Ulman has done so far, Norris said he doubts an upset is likely.
