Name: Bill Schlaffer
Age: 70
Town: Perry Hall
Occupation: Retired
Voted for: Joe Bartenfelder for County Executive; Bill Paulshock for District 5 County Council seat

"It was really a coin flip between Kamenetz and Bartenfelder, though I felt like Kamenetz ran a more negative campaign. I wanted to vote for someone, not against someone else. I voted for Paulshock because he's from the area and I think he would make decisions in favor of the local community."

Voted for: Brian Murphy for Governor; Ken Holt for Baltimore County Executive; David Marks for District 5 County Council seat

"I had heard good things about both Holt and Marks. Even though they're unopposed, I wouldn't have voted for them if I hadn't have heard good things about them. I like to be informed. I voted for Murphy over Ehrlich mainly because I know that he's backed but Sarah Palin and I trust her."

Voted for: Kevin Kamenetz for Baltimore County Executive; Bill Paulshock for District 5 County Council seat

"I tend not to be happy with career politicians. After a while they stop caring about the people and start just caring about their pockets. I'd like to see new good people involved, Democrats or Republicans."

Voted for: Ken Holt for Baltimore County Executive; David Marks for District 5 County Council seat

"I voted for them because they were unopposed. I had also heard good things about Marks and I know I don't like the ones currently in office."

Name: Jean-Marie Roddy
Age: 39
Town: Perry Hall
Occupation: Psychotherapist
Voted for: Bob Ehrlich for Governor

"I just went in and voted for governor. I didn't know much about the candidates running for other positions so I left them blank. I think that Ehrlich has the best chance of winning in the general election and I'm in favor of a more conservative government."
