Incoming County Council President Valerie Ervin has enjoyed one of the more rapid rises to prominence in MoCo history. In 2002, she became Council Member George Leventhal's Chief of Staff. In 2004, she was elected to the school board. In 2006, she was elected to the council's District 5 seat. In 2008, she became Chair of the council's Education Committee. This year, she had no Democratic primary opponent. She is now about to be President and many people are predicting greatness for Ervin. We'll see what the future holds! Here is one of her mailers from 2006.

Hans Riemer, 2006: "I'll Get the Purple Line Built or Die Trying"
Hans Riemer has always been an ardently pro-transit candidate, even at the risk of his own health. In 2006, he ran for the open Council District 5 seat and sent out this mailer in which he vowed, "I'll Get the Purple Line Built or Die Trying." Hans lost the election, but he did survive the mailer. He is headed to Rockville after finishing second in this year's council at-large primary.

Is Pete Fosselman Running Against Valerie Ervin?
Yesterday, our spies came out of the woodwork to report that Kensington Mayor Pete Fosselman, who is currently a candidate for Planning Board Chair, is considering a run against Council Member Valerie Ervin for the District 5 seat. We emailed Fosselman for comment and he has not yet responded. However, the noise is so loud on this that we are convinced that something is going on.
