Brian Naranjo

Brian Naranjo for the Talbot County Council

Orange is the new blue — and Talbot is up for grabs.


Trump carried this county by six votes in 2024. Democrat Pete Lesher was the top vote-getter of anyone on the ballot. Then a MAGA-hijacked GOP primaried and expelled its own #1 vote-getter, Lynne Mielke, for being reasonable. Talbot isn't red — it's deep purple, and it's fed up.


I'm Brian Naranjo,* a retired U.S. diplomat running for County Council with the Team Talbot slate on one promise: competence over chatter, focus on Talbot. This race is about character and temperament, not purity tests. The MAGA tide is rising — don't let it crest here. Chip in today. Vote sanity. Vote competence. Flip Talbot orange.


*Naranjo means orange in Spanish — and on this ballot, orange is the new blue.
