Yesterday, I signed the Jake Didinsky Advocacy Act, expanding representation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities on our County commission from 2 to 5 members. Those affected by our policies deserve a voice in shaping them.

I enjoyed visiting Mamma Lena Trattoria Napoletana in Germantown for Women's Small Business Month. Lena Borello and Giovanni Varriale have built a popular family-owned restaurant rooted in the cooking traditions of Naples. Thanks for sharing your story and welcoming us!
Keeping our community warm, one coat at a time!
More than 70 coats were purchased in collaboration with the Montgomery County Police Foundation, and our officers traded their usual duties for a little shopping trip, picking out coats to help keep local children warm as the colder months approach. Moments like these remind us that serving our community goes beyond the badge.
A little warmth can make a big difference!
