Today, it’s another in our series of Conversations with the Candidates, in-depth interviews with contenders in key races leading up to the June 26th Maryland primary election.Today, Tom's guest is Maryland Insurance Commissioner Al Redmer, Jr. The Baltimore County native hopes to build on his two terms as the state’s chief insurance regulator and four terms as a Republican state delegate to win his party’s nomination in the June primary for Baltimore County Executive. Redmer is one of two Republicans in that contest, which is spotlighting his moderate conservativism, his wide-ranging family business interests and his close ties with Governor Hogan. Where does he stand on school construction, immigration and affordable housing? Can he be the first Republican since 1990 to win Baltimore County’s top job? Candidate Al Redmer takes Tom's questions, and yours.Today's conversation, like all our Conversations with the Candidates, is streamed live on WYPR's Facebook page.
