Attended the DC Water meeting on Potomac Interceptor. Good Qs from residents, riverkeepers, watersports stakeholders. Need more monitoring, swift efforts for full remediation, and a clear enforcement and rehabilitation plan. This will be a long road. I will be a part of the solution.

When I worked at the Council a decade ago, Metro was in some dark days. I was a champion for getting Metro back on track, and on the Council, I’ll be an advocate to expand access and transit options.

Delivering on Promised Community Infrastructure
Delivering on Promised Community Infrastructure YouTube video by Drew Morrison

Building infrastructure cheaply and efficiently is a big challenge, and a lot of times, Montgomery County hasn't gotten it right. In this video, I talk about a time when the County did get it right, and where I was part of the solution: the Great Seneca Transit Network.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a terrible tragedy that never should have happened. ICE must be held accountable for these lawless actions. As Councilmember, I will do everything in my power to fight back against ICE’s reckless operations and protect our community.
