Daily News | The Montgomery County commissioners’ race upended ‘party politics as usual’ for Democrats
. Makhija, 36, was the only candidate who pushed for such an “open primary” — participating in Zoom meetings with activists before the party convention while visiting his 100-year-old grandmother in Mumbai.
Koch got a boost from her association with Winder, with whom she shared a campaign committee and much of the same campaign literature. And Koch had support from many state and local elected officials, including House Majority Leader Matt Bradford. With Donald Trump running for president again, Makhija campaigned on using his background in election law to help Montgomery County administer the 2024 election — and protect against Trump-inspired attacks on the election process.
His television ads highlighted his background as the son of Indian immigrants who made it to Harvard Law School. And they featured prominent Democrats backing his campaign such as former Gov. Ed Rendell, former U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, and former State Sen. Connie Williams. Late in the race, he got another lift from an endorsement by The Inquirer’s editorial board, which operates separately from the newsroom.
