It is an honor and a privilege to serve the students, staff and families of MCPS, and the greater Montgomery County community as a Member of the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council. Thank you to County Executive Elrich for this appointment and the County Council for my confirmation.
It’s a beautiful day for field hockey! Let’s go Gaithersburg and Northwest! #supportthegirls
Apparently it’s like holiday decor: buy it early or you’re out of luck because the stores are empty.

As the Maryland General Assembly IT Office migrates to a new data center, there will be a brief total blackout for websites, phones, and email for state legislative offices.

The blackout period runs from 5pm on Thursday, Aug. 28 through Monday, Sept. 1, 2025.

Thank you for your patience!
Thoughts and prayers are not a solution to keeping our children safe.

Paved trail connections from Odessa Shannon MS to Wheaton Regional Park are done!

Big shout out to the Kemp Mill family who brought it to my attention. They have a child with a disability who couldn’t connect to the trail from his home due to the lack of paved trail; he uses a wheelchair.
If the child is crossing properly in a marked crosswalk, then how’s the driver not at fault?

Many years ago I had the honor of saving the life of someone I love by donating blood to them so I jumped at the chance to help again today. You too can save a life by donating to the Red Cross. Find a blood drive by visiting www.redcrossblood.org.
Will the slides be available? The speaker is flying through them.

The court didn’t rule on the merits. They found a procedural error and sent it back down to the lower court so the proper parties may be added.
Surprisingly, the graham crackers were still crunchy!
Wishing an especially good morning to all of the parents who also just realized their child’s lunchbox is still in their backpack from the last day of school.
