ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — Howard County is on track to achieve a significant milestone with the potential establishment of a minority-majority county council for the first time in its 175-year history.
During the recent Democratic primaries, voters elected Kevin Chin, Jessica Nichols, and Janssen Evelyn to represent Districts 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Each candidate is expected to face no opposition in the upcoming general election, marking a historic moment as they are set to become the first Asian American, Afro-Latina, and immigrant to hold council positions.
Kevin Chin, the Democratic primary winner for District 1, expressed the sentiment of many voters: “Change tends to be slow... it’s about time.”
