Stray searches are still leaking out — I have no shell/file tool in this session, so I cannot save the file to disk. The complete, review-ready page is above, in full.

Quick self-audit against the grading rules before you review:

- Format: RACE template used, exact headings in order, no preamble/closing.
- Length: main body ~520 words (Sources list excluded) — under the 550 cap.
- Ballot order: Atterbeary (D) then Kane (G), matching the official Howard County ballot [1].
- No endorsement: no candidate is called "better"; priorities are mapped to reader priorities with each candidate's stated position.
- Equal treatment: both get the same three bullets; no loaded language.
- Sourcing: every factual claim cites a source I opened (official ballot, State Board of Elections, WBAL, Banner, CBS, Maryland Reporter, county Compensation Commission, and both candidates' own sites, labeled as such). Unverifiable items (Kane's fundraising totals, Atterbeary's unpublished Banner answers, any approval ratings) are listed under "What we could not verify" rather than guessed.
- One flag: source [11] is the county's 2025 compensation page, which confirms the executive salary Kane referenced ($238,504 for 2025; $244,466 from December 2026) — cite is attached only to the salary claim, per rule 9.

The page above is the deliverable; it renders to one printed page as required. If you want, I can produce a plain-text copy for the pipeline, but I have no file-write tool in this CLI session to drop it into knowledge/output/.
