Charter YES

Frederick County took a big step forward yesterday with approval of Question A for Charter Government. Thank you to the Charter Board for your guidance, hard work and leadership, to Gordon Cooley, Karly Klein, David Rogers and the entire Charter Education Coalition for your vision and tireless efforts to educate citizens and to Jason Stanczyk, Michael Kurtianyk and the Charter YES campaign for making sure Frederick County voters got the message that Charter Government allows us to make local decisions on local issues and bring more accountability and efficiency to our government. Finally, thank you to everyone who fought for this important issue with emails, letters to the editor, at phonebanks, at the polls, at events - talking to neighbors, co-workers and family. You made the difference.

Charter wins by a wide margin - The Frederick News-Post Online The Frederick News-Post is a Frederick, MD based newspaper that has been delivering local news, sports, classifieds, food, obituaries, entertainment, and community events to Frederick, MD for more than 100 years.

Gazette.Net Gazette Polarizing ballot initiative passes with 62 percent vote

Thank you to all our volunteers who helped on the campaign.

Unofficial election returns: 52,012 FOR Question A (62.19%) and 31,616 AGAINST Question A (37.81%) with 68 precincts reporting.

Shout out to Chad! Thanks for the impromptu poll working this morning. And thanks to all the volunteers calling voters today. Together, we CAN move Frederick FORWARD!

It's a beautiful morning in Frederick County. The polls are about to open. Make sure you get out - and your friends and family get out - to vote FOR Question A! Let's move Frederick FORWARD.

There is a reason that the Frederick News Post and the Gazette have endorsed Question A, and there is a reason that the Frederick County Teachers, many of our local municipalities (all of whom have Charter government), nearly all of our county Senators and Delegates (Democrat and Republican alike), the Firefighters and Deputy Sheriffs, the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce – and many more – have endorsed Charter Government. It’s because we deserve a local say on local issues. We must have the power to make the day-to-day decisions that will impact us and our families for years to come. Our current form of government by committee is no longer capable of managing our government efficiently. Vote TODAY FOR Question A!

We're working hard to make sure Frederick County citizens are educated about Charter government before Tuesday's election. MESSAGE US IF YOU CAN SPEND AN HOUR OR TWO PHONEBANKING WITH US TOMORROW!

Thank you to our Chair, Jason Stanczyk, for a great Letter to the Editor this morning!
