Andrew Friedson said it best: “People are not investing in building housing in Montgomery County." We can't afford to adopt an "us versus them dynamic of the renters vs the developers. We’re never going to solve our problem if that becomes the prevailing narrative."

This week, I was proud to introduce a proclamation to recognize October as Bullying Prevention Month in Rockville. Bullying can leave devastating effects in those involved and we need to combat it! Thank you to our City's school leaders for joining us in recognizing the importance of this issue.
