Fighting for the Montgomery Promise
I believe everyone should be able to succeed here, raise a family here, and retire with dignity here. As County Executive, I'll fully fund our schools, build housing families can afford, grow our economy from the bottom up, and put people over powerful interests.
Below learn about where I believe we need to go, why it matters, and the record that shows I'll deliver.
Education
Fully fund our schools, shrink class sizes, expand Pre-K, and ensure every child gets a world-class education regardless of zip code.
Housing
Produce affordable housing, preserve what we have, and protect renters from displacement so families can stay in the communities they love.
Climate Action & Sustainability
Protect our green spaces, accelerate clean energy, and ensure climate action reaches every community equitably.
Democracy & Good Government
Build a transparent, accountable government that works for people, not powerful interests—with real ethics enforcement and community input.
Disability Inclusion
Make Montgomery County a national model for inclusion, with fully funded special education and services that let everyone thrive.
Economic Opportunity
Create good-paying union jobs, expand career pathways, and build an economy that works from the bottom up and middle out.
Equity & Civil Rights
Embed equity into every decision and direct resources to communities that have been systematically underserved.
Federal Workers
Stand with our 70,000+ federal workers against Trump's attacks and fight to keep their talent and families here in Montgomery County.
Immigration
Protect our immigrant neighbors from deportation, expand legal defense, and ensure everyone can access services without fear.
Innovating for Families
Expand guaranteed income, implement Baby Bonds, and pioneer policies that invest directly in families to build generational wealth.
Neighborhoods & Development
Ensure communities have a real voice in how their neighborhoods grow—with infrastructure, affordability, and residents coming before developer profits.
Parks & Recreation
Protect our 420+ parks from overdevelopment and ensure every family has access to green space, sports facilities, and inclusive playgrounds.
Public Safety
Build trust through transparency, accountability, and community-based solutions that address root causes while supporting our officers.
Reproductive Justice
Defend reproductive freedom, fund abortion support services, and ensure everyone has full autonomy over their bodies and healthcare.
