Yesterday, I joined County leaders in opposing proposed changes to the 2030 Census. A complete count is essential to fair representation and federal funding.

Excluding people from the count is an affront to the Constitution and to our nation's most foundational American principles.

Montgomery County leaders gathered in Rockville to vehemently stand against proposed changes to the U.S. Census.

The arts do more than entertain — they bring us together, challenge the status quo, & inspire change. Today at the Montgomery County MD Council, we celebrated Arts & Humanities Month & recognized the artists and cultural organizations that make Montgomery County a more vibrant, creative, & inclusive community.
