The Sayles Sentinel: Grateful for Our Local Heroes

November 2024

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! As we celebrate this holiday season of gratitude and giving, I want to express my pride in being part of our vibrant, diverse, and inclusive county. Despite any uncertainties that may lie ahead, we have repeatedly shown that Montgomery County knows how to come together—neighbors helping neighbors, families reuniting, and community leaders ensuring that every person can fully participate in and enjoy this season of generosity.

Rest assured, my team is ready and available to answer your questions, connect you with vital resources, and support you through any challenges you may face in the coming months. If you need assistance with a county agency, simply fill out this service request form, and my office will act to help you. We are committed to supporting you and advocating for your priorities. Together, we will navigate this season and beyond with courage and unity.

Election Results

While the election results at the top of the ticket were not what we envisioned, my commitment to advocating for every resident of Montgomery County as your Councilmember At-Large is stronger than ever. Despite uncertainty and challenges, I will continue actively championing your voices, priorities, and community. I am proud of our achievements, particularly in securing reproductive freedom across our great state. I am grateful for our voters' confidence and enthusiasm in electing Senator-elect Alsobrooks and Representative-elect Delaney and re-electing Representatives Raskin and Ivey. We will collaborate to address your concerns, enhance our community, and protect our country. My office is always ready to answer any questions. Together, we will navigate these challenges and move forward. Onward!

Safe and Vibrant Communities Workgroup Kick-Off

Residents across Montgomery County representing local businesses, nonprofits, and public entities kick off the Safe and Vibrant Communities Workgroup

I am excited to announce the kickoff of my Safe and Vibrant Communities Workgroup. After a series of five Community Conversations events I held across the county in July in collaboration with the county’s Regional Services Offices, residents, business owners, community leaders, and other vital stakeholders applied to keep the dialogue going. Their selection marks the next phase in our mission to turn the valuable feedback we received from these conversations into actionable policies. This workgroup will focus on improving community safety, expanding business-community partnerships, and addressing the needs of our youth. Thank you to everyone who applied and joined the workgroup to contribute to our community’s future! After a successful kickoff meeting, I look forward to our ongoing work to develop a vision for a safer, more vibrant county for all.

Updating the Public Campaign Finance System

I am proud to be a lead sponsor of Bill 20-24, Public Campaign Financing—Amendments, along with Council Vice President Kate Stewart and Councilmembers Evan Glass, Natali Fani-González, Gabe Albornoz, Kristin Mink, and Marilyn Balcombe, which passed unanimously this month. These amendments increase individual donor contribution limits, expand the impact of smaller donations by increasing matching ratios for base contributions, and permit candidates to affiliate with one another by state law.

After two election cycles with our public campaign finance system, it has become clear that updates and improvements are necessary to enhance the competitiveness of publicly funded candidates. By engaging with voters to secure funds from small-dollar donors rather than relying on large corporations or political action committees, we can create a more equitable landscape for all who aspire to serve. My experience running for an at-large seat in 2022, supported by this program, has highlighted the significant positive impact it can have. I am honored to be the first Black woman elected to the Council at-large. This milestone underscores the importance of this initiative in promoting diversity and inclusion in our political representation.

Raising the SAILS Fundraising Gala

Gathering with guests to commemorate the inaugural Raising the SAILS Gala

This month, I was honored to be a keynote speaker at the inaugural Raising the SAILS Gala! This event, hosted by Stillborn and Infant Loss Support (SAILS), focused on the organization’s commitment to helping families who are navigating the challenging journey after the loss or stillbirth of a newborn. SAILS fosters a community of professionals, partner organizations, and compassionate individuals trained to support bereaved families. As a mother, I truly appreciate how the organization offers comprehensive care that increases knowledge, reduces stigma, and, most importantly, assists families who have experienced such a profound loss.

As a legislator, I recognize the enduring disparities in maternal and infant healthcare along racial and socioeconomic lines, such as the wide gaps in infant mortality rates between Black and White newborns, and I have championed several key initiatives to address these longstanding inequities. Among those are Montgomery County’s Babies Born Healthy program, the Infant at Risk Home Visiting Program, the Montgomery Perinatal Program, and the Improved Pregnancy Outcomes Program, which all proactively provide resources, services, and wraparound support to mothers, newborns, and their families, including those experiencing high-risk pregnancies and those who have suffered heartbreaking loss. Kudos to these county programs and our community partners, like SAILS, for their dedicated efforts in supporting our families countywide.

Commemorating Reconciliation and Remembrance Month

Commemorating Remembrance and Reconciliation Month with Councilmember Jawando, County Executive Elrich, Jason Green of the County’s Commission on Remembrance and Reconciliation, Director Jim Stowe of the County’s Office of Human Rights, Tracy Oliver Gary of MCPS, and community members

November is Remembrance and Reconciliation Month, marking the 160th anniversary of Maryland’s Emancipation Day. Throughout the month, the Montgomery County Commission on Remembrance and Reconciliation has partnered with local organizations to host educational events. These initiatives aim to acknowledge our complex history, particularly the lynching of George Peck, John Diggs-Dorsey, and Sidney Randolph in the late 1800s. This period encourages us to reflect on our journey toward freedom, honor those who fought for justice, and engage in meaningful discussions about racism and discrimination, ultimately fostering understanding and positive change in our community.

Celebrating Diwali

Enjoying the festivities and talent showcase with fellow attendees at a Diwali celebration

At the beginning of this month, we celebrated Diwali, the five-day Hindu festival of lights that symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and enlightenment over ignorance. The word "Diwali" comes from the Sanskrit term "Deepavali," which means "row of lamps." While customs may vary based on region and tradition, a common practice among those who celebrate is to light lamps in front of their homes to welcome prosperity in the new year. As proud residents of one of the most diverse counties in the nation, we enjoyed celebrating this auspicious occasion with County Executive Elrich. We hope everyone had a joyous Diwali!

Recognizing Veterans Day

Honoring our service members for Veterans Day with Councilmember Mink and members of the Black Ministers’ Conference of Montgomery County

As the daughter of a veteran, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all who have served in every branch of our armed forces. I honor the courage, resilience, and unwavering dedication of those who have sacrificed to defend our nation, keeping us safe at home and around the world during peace and conflict. I had the privilege of saluting our veterans at a ceremony in Rockville, and I am profoundly grateful for our country’s service members today and every day. To our honorable veterans—thank you for your service!

Mixed-Income Housing - Rose Village (ZTA)

A 3-D sketch of the revised Rose Village plan from Wilco

Rose Village is a new residential development the Montgomery County Planning Board recently approved. I successfully sponsored and passed the Opening Pathways of Economic Necessity (O.P.E.N.) ZTA I, alongside Councilmember Friedson, will promote the development of well-resourced and affordable communities. This initiative paved the way for our county's Rose Village affordable housing project.

The developer, Wilco, will lead the Rose Village project, adding over 1,100 housing units to the local market. Half of these units will be affordable housing for lower-income families with beautiful community green spaces for all residents. One of the main goals of the Rose Village development is to provide affordable housing options for those who work in Montgomery County, allowing them to live closer to their jobs and reducing long, difficult commutes.

Making living in Montgomery County affordable—a key component of my S.M.A.R.T. agenda—is one of my top priorities, and I am excited to see how this development evolves!

S.M.A.R.T. Updates Around the County

Strengthen 21st Century Learning from Cradle to Career and Beyond

Annual Youth Town Hall

Meeting with students from across Montgomery County for the annual Youth Town Hall

This month, I had the opportunity to attend the County Council’s annual Youth Town Hall, where our young residents shared their perspectives. Students raised constructive concerns about funding for extracurricular programs, rising housing costs, drug use, and safety issues in schools and the community. They also worried about the shifting political landscape and its future impact on their lives.

Their insights are vital as they represent the next generation of voters and leaders. Inspired by impactful trailblazers, I am committed to investing in our youth and strengthening 21st-century education through robust funding for public schools, mental health resources, apprenticeship programs, and better salaries for our dedicated educators.

I enjoyed interacting with these inspiring young residents. I appreciated their questions and feedback. As I lead my S.M.A.R.T. Youth Advisory Council each semester, I am dedicated to involving youth in community and public policy discussions. Their voices matter!

Make Living in Montgomery County More Affordable

2024-2028 Growth and Infrastructure Policy

On November 12, I voted with my colleagues to approve the 2024-2028 Growth and Infrastructure Policy. This policy outlines guidelines to ensure our infrastructure supports our growing community and new developments. With this policy in place, Montgomery County will continue to expand housing and infrastructure while addressing the needs of each community. It will guide our efforts over the next four years, making Montgomery County an appealing place for residents to live and grow.

Primary Care Coalition Annual Storytelling Show

Six inspiring storytellers who shared narratives as part of PCC’s collaborative community engagement efforts

This month, we attended the Primary Care Coalition’s Annual Storytelling Show, which celebrates the individuals and partnerships that promote health and wellness in our community. The event's unique format brought together storytellers to highlight the collaborative efforts to make health accessible to everyone in Montgomery County. Thank you to the PCC for hosting this beautiful storytelling showcase, which allowed us to reflect on how healthcare accessibility affects us all.

Montgomery Village Recreation Center Community Kick-off Meeting

I attended a community meeting focused on the future of the Montgomery Village Recreation Center. Over the past several months, I have collaborated with Councilmember Dawn Luedtke to advocate for this vital project. During the FY25 budget discussions, we submitted a letter in support of the County Executive’s recommendation for $50,000 to initiate facility planning for the recreation center.

Hearing community members share their challenges in accessing recreational spaces at the kick-off event was heartbreaking. Many expressed the pressing need for indoor recreation options for the Montgomery Village and Gaithersburg communities. Recreation centers play a vital role in creating safe and welcoming spaces for all, equitably serving everyone, particularly our youngest and oldest residents. These centers foster community connections and provide essential resources that contribute to positive mental and social health outcomes.

I am excited to collaborate with community members to bring this project to life and enhance the recreational opportunities available in our area!

Senior Villages Breakfast with the Council

Discussing budget priorities and concerns with residents of Montgomery County’s Villages

In preparation for the upcoming budget season, the County Council met with the Montgomery County Village Consortium for a breakfast and Q&A session. We discussed funding priorities and concerns raised by residents of our senior villages. These volunteer-led organizations help community members age in place by fostering social connections, coordinating volunteer assistance, and ensuring access to well-resourced, integrated communities. 

There are currently 26 villages in our county, with seven more in development. I appreciated hearing from village residents and leaders, and I will prioritize funding for social welfare initiatives that support our most vulnerable residents, including our aging neighbors.

Celebration of Giving

Congratulating Montgomery County Philanthropist of the Year, Bob Buchanan

I had a wonderful time attending the Greater Washington Community Foundation’s Celebration of Giving, where we honored our County’s generous philanthropists, business leaders, elected officials, and representatives from the region’s leading nonprofit organizations. I would like to congratulate Bob Buchanan, the Montgomery County Philanthropist of the Year! This event was a powerful testament to how a community can foster generosity, creating an impact that will resonate for generations. I believe we can be more effective in serving our residents by collaborating with diverse stakeholders. I appreciated being part of a remarkable group of prominent leaders who share my vision of increasing economic mobility for more families, ultimately strengthening Montgomery County.

Advance Sustainable Local Food Production in the Ag Reserve

Montgomery College Mobile Markets

Distributing food, visiting the free community pantry, and learning from Montgomery College staff about food security initiatives on campus

My team and I distributed food alongside student volunteers at Montgomery College's Mobile Market. This monthly initiative offers free fresh fruits, vegetables, and essential food items to students, faculty, and community members. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no eligibility requirements. We also toured the on-campus pantry to learn about the college's food security initiatives that support a diverse student population. A heartfelt thank you to Montgomery College, the Capital Area Food Bank, and all the dedicated volunteers for their efforts in addressing food insecurity!

I was fortunate to present a proclamation with Councilmember Luedtke for the 20th anniversary of the Montgomery County Drug Court. It was touching to witness the graduation ceremony for 11 deserving graduates who completed the Drug Court program, reclaiming the lives they had envisioned for themselves before facing the challenges and impact of addiction. Congratulations to the graduates, the exemplary Drug Court team, and the wonderful community organizations and individuals who make this initiative possible.

It Takes a Village AfriThrive Conference

Joining advocates and organizers for the inaugural It Takes a Village Conference

I was honored to attend the inaugural It Takes A Village Conference hosted by AfriThrive, led by Dr. Truphena Choti, which aims to build thriving African immigrant communities. The conference brought together leaders, advocates, and policymakers to address critical issues, including food security, health equity, social justice, and the diaspora's role in development. We explored how to progress by leveraging our existing knowledge, reinforcing that it truly takes a village of collaborative efforts to thrive. As the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, I am deeply committed to tackling these essential issues that resonate with me.

Global Women’s Summit

Arriving at Washington Post Live’s second annual Global Women’s Summit with Tazeen Ahman, President of the Montgomery County Women’s Democratic Club

I was thrilled to be invited to the third annual Global Women’s Summit hosted by Washington Post Live. The event showcased incredible women who are trailblazers in transforming our world. It was a powerful reminder of women's limitless potential to lead and innovate. Connecting with women representing political leadership, business acumen, fearless advocacy, and diverse expertise was inspiring and energizing.

Clarksburg Fire Station Ribbon-Cutting

Celebrating the opening of the brand new Clarksburg Fire Station with Fire Chief Smedley, many colleagues on the Council, and team members from Fire and Rescue services

I had the honor of attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the new Clarksburg Fire Station. This milestone represents the culmination of extensive development efforts to enhance the delivery of high-quality and timely emergency services for the expanding Upcounty area. The facility is modern and equipped with state-of-the-art resources, providing our first responders with the tools to address emergencies effectively. Its strategic location improves response times significantly. I would like to express my appreciation to Chief Smedley, our County's Fire and Rescue professionals, and the dedicated volunteers who work alongside our public servants to ensure the safety of our community.

National Adoption Day

Every November, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we celebrate National Adoption Day, a day dedicated to finalizing thousands of adoptions and shining a light on the many children in foster care who continue to wait for loving and supportive homes. National Adoption Day unites courts, attorneys, and families, all working toward providing stability and love for these precious children.

While adoption fosters beautiful family bonds, it’s important to remember that many children also require additional support, such as educational resources and therapy, to thrive truly. We must acknowledge the disparity in adoption rates, as White children are adopted at significantly higher rates than their Black and Hispanic peers, who often face more obstacles in finding permanent homes. Together, we can advocate for all children in foster care, ensuring they receive the love and support they deserve.

As the County’s Lead for Eliminating Disparities, I am committed to ensuring that every child in Montgomery County's foster system feels safe and valued. To find out more about the fostering and adoption processes in Montgomery County, check out Child Welfare Services’ brochure on adoption services and the Foster Parent Services website, or register for one of the upcoming monthly information sessions. Together, we can help these children find their forever homes.

Pleasant View Park Ribbon-Cutting

Enjoying the beautiful newest addition to Gaithersburg’s parks

This month, I celebrated the grand opening of the City of Gaithersburg’s newest park, Pleasant View Park, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony! Named after the nearby Quince Orchard community, one of the first free black communities established after the Civil War, Pleasant View Park is a sprawling 9.54-acre park with community gardens, a bicycle skills course, plenty of open space, pavilions, a playground, fitness pods, and a welcome plaza. As a former member of the Gaithersburg City Council, I’m excited to see how residents utilize this vibrant new public space!

Business Ribbon-Cuttings - Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls and Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center

Supporting brand new businesses at celebratory ribbon cuttings across Montgomery County

Our county’s business community is thriving! I had the opportunity to attend ribbon cuttings for multiple grand openings of new businesses in our county – a new location of Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls in Gaithersburg and a new location of Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Center in Rockville! I’m eager to hear from residents about how these new locations will integrate into their communities and enhance their local experience by offering excellent dining and fitness options.
