Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater joins Midday to discuss her growing constituency. She was elected last November in a tight race with State Sen. Michael Hough.

Frederick faces challenges different than in Baltimore City. While the Baltimore’s population is shrinking, Frederick is booming.

According to analysis of census data by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, the city of Frederick added nearly 13,000 residents between 2010 and 2020, a population increase that is second only to Alexandria, VA during that period.

And with all those new people, come new issues, including a school system that is scrambling to keep up with expanding enrollment.
