In advance of Rosh Hashanah, I visited the Kosher Capital Food Pantry, where volunteers work tirelessly to ensure families across Montgomery County have access to healthy, nourishing meals. During difficult times, food pantries like Kosher Capital are a lifeline, offering support with dignity and compassion.
This visit was a meaningful reminder of renewal, reflection, and hope. I am very appreciative of the staff and volunteers whose commitment shows the true spirit of the holiday, bringing light and comfort to our neighbors in need.

I was delighted to join the ribbon cutting for the brand new Takoma Park Library, a cornerstone of learning and community connection. Libraries are more than just books, they are places where neighbors gather, students learn, and ideas take flight.
This modern space will serve generations to come, and I’m proud to celebrate this new chapter.

I was thrilled to join friends and neighbors for the 33rd Burtonsville Day, a tradition that brings our community together each year. It was an amazing showcase of the energy and spirit that make Burtonsville such a special place.
Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and residents who made this celebration possible and for reminding us how special and connected our county truly is.

On the same day as Burtonsville Day, I also joined friends and neighbors for Poolesville Day, one of Montgomery County’s favorite traditions. From the parade to the live music, local food, and family activities, it was a true celebration of community spirit.
Events like Poolesville Day remind us of the strength and vibrancy of our Upcounty communities.

I recently joined nonprofit leaders to discuss the challenges facing Montgomery County. From national politics to the local economy, our ecosystems are deeply intertwined, and if we want a strong social safety net, we must also sustain a strong local economy.
Thank you to the Greater Washington Community Foundation for organizing this important gathering. I remain inspired by the dedication of our nonprofit partners and the good work being done every day to support our neighbors in need.

A WSSC manhole cover in Aspen Hill was missing screws, causing a loud noise to be heard by neighbors every time a vehicle drove on top of it. If left unchecked, the cover could have been pried open, exposing the manhole and posing a serious danger for vehicles and pedestrians. My team flagged this issue to WSSC and within 72 hours, WSSC tightened the manhole cover.
If you need help navigating Montgomery County government, fill out this form and my team and I will assist you.

On Friday, October 3, Montgomery County is holding its Annual Bike Drive in Rockville, a chance to donate your unused bikes so they can be repaired or refurbished for friends and neighbors who need reliable transportation. Volunteers from Rockville Bike Hub and the County’s Bike Match Program will help make sure bikes are passed along to kids and adults who need them and anything beyond repair will be recycled to help the planet.
