48% : Cracks in unity The self-proclaimed "people's council" that formed in December 2022 -- with Burroughs, Ivey and Oriadha working together as members of the majority -- vowed to be a more liberal body that championed residents' concerns instead of adhering to the will of the county executive.
23% : Bigger issues at stake District 2 council member Wanika Fisher, who has repeatedly been on the opposite side from Burroughs on issues, voted for him on Tuesday because, she said, of the "election of Donald Trump and the division and what terror can happen [as a result].
19% : It was time for a leadership change in Maryland's second-largest county as it faces a looming budget deficit that county officials say will grow worse as the Trump administration works to fire thousands of federal workers and dramatically reduce federal spending.
