Mizeur Quits

In the Gazette last week (front page of the Takoma Park version), Heather Mizeur is noted for resigning her city council seat early after less than two years to pursue a state legislative bid. She would join former county councilman Blair Ewing, TP city councilwoman Joy Austin-Lane, and possibly others including local activist and Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board member Jose Vazquez in that race. So far, no word of a challenger for State Sen. Ida Ruben.
