Republican Ed Romaine and Democrat David Calone are running to replace Steve Bellone who reached his term limit after 12 years.
Eyewitness News reporter Chantee Lans spoke with the two rivals about their priorities and plans for the county.
"This is their opportunity to elect someone with a different background in county executive before," Calone said. "Most counties don't tax your electric bill. We do," Romaine said. "We tax your propane bill. We tax your natural gas bill. We tax the home heating fuel. I think that's a regressive tax. I'd like to see if we can move away from doing that."
