Why I'm running for County Executive.

While Trump wages war on our schools, our federal workers, and our immigrant neighbors, Montgomery County needs a County Executive who will fight back.

For too long, our county government has moved too slowly while housing costs crush working families, developers call the shots, and too many communities get left behind. We can't afford more caution. We need courage.

I'm running for County Executive because I've spent my entire career fighting for people the system wasn't built for — from the Obama White House to the County Council. I've taken on powerful interests before, and I'll do it again.
