Today we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the bravery of the first responders who risked and gave their lives to save others. We hold in our hearts the 11 Montgomery County residents we lost that day and continue to stand with their families. #NeverForget

Ready for the Commanders season!

It was a great end to the week to join Superintendent Dr. Taylor, BOE members, and representatives from the Montgomery County delegation on the back-to-school tour, especially visiting my alma mater, Walt Whitman HS! Wishing all students, educators, staff and families a successful & fulfilling year!

🇺🇸 Labor Day reminds us to honor the workers who built our nation and continue to move it forward through their dedicated hard work & service. It is also the chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate community. Great to see so many neighbors and friends yesterday at the Town of Kensington parade!

I applaud Montgomery County awarding $1.3 million in grants for youth mental health & substance use prevention programs through funds secured through settlement agreements with JUUL and Altria. This advances efforts to combat youth vaping, while promoting the health & well-being of all residents.

Profoundly saddened by a mass shooting in NYC killing 4 people, including a police officer. We must never accept the lie that gun casualties are the price of constitutional freedom. May the memories of the lost be a blessing to friends & family & a reminder to all of us to act.

The Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) has issued a Purple Alert for a missing cognitively impaired male, Jeffrey Ratnofsky, who was last seen yesterday morning. Anyone with information is asked to call 911. www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcgportalapp...

I am saddened by the loss of Helen Abrahams, who was a force for change with immense passion and advocacy for our aging community. She taught me a lot about the importance of humility & partnerships. Her loved ones are in my thoughts & prayers.

My heartfelt condolences to all those impacted by last night’s unimaginable tragedy at Reagan Airport. Thank you to our first responders from Montgomery County and other jurisdictions for their ongoing response.

I am praying for the family, friends & the entire MCFRS community following the tragic loss of our fallen firefighter. I am deeply grateful for the courage, sacrifice & unwavering commitment of all our first responders, who selflessly serve and protect us all.

Happy and blessed Kwanzaa to all who celebrate!
