On this Earth Day, I'm highlighting the need to keep funding our beautiful park system here in Montgomery County.

The biggest line item in the budget is our schools. In recent years, needs have grown, but our economy hasn’t. When it comes to budgeting, our first priority has to be investing in a real economic development strategy so we can fund the critical needs to ensure our schools deliver for every student.

Thanks to @mkorman.bsky.social and everyone who came out to the Edgemoor forum. It was great to meet residents, talk about our campaign, and discuss the future of our community!

This week I’m sharing my take on the budget. Here’s my topline takeaway. The County Executive is proposing a 6% property tax increase. I’m against it. Now is not the time to raise taxes when families are struggling and thousands of people in our community have lost jobs due to Trump’s cuts.

It was great to be joined last week by Governor @martinomalley.bsky.social at BabyCat Brewery Bethesda as we enter the most critical stretch of the campaign! Learn more at morrisonforcouncil.com!

Safety in schools is paramount. I support bringing back school resource officers, and I will continue to be an advocate for making sure MCPS is taking all appropriate steps to address school safety issues compassionately and effectively.

A top priority of the County Council is providing the necessary oversight and accountability to ensure our schools are delivering for every student. Watch my latest video to learn more about my plans for MCPS.

Thank you to the Bannockburn Civic Association for hosting a District One Forum today and for everyone who attended! You can watch my responses from the forum here:

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.

I'm proud to have the support of my friend and District 1 resident Daniel Langenkamp, who has been a leading advocate for making our roads safer. Watch our latest video to learn about the work we've done and what more we can do to ensure everyone can safely drive, walk, bike, and roll.

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.

Watch my latest video with District 1 resident Nancy Abeles to learn about our work together on the BRT Corridor Advisory Committee and how I'll bring my experience as a consensus-builder to the County Council.

When I worked at the Council, I was the person you called when you needed a tree trimmed or a pothole filled. I know how to run a strong constituent service operation, and I’ll make sure my office gets back to you quickly when you call with a concern.

I’ve heard from many Wootton cluster parents who are deeply concerned about "Option H" and the proposed Wootton High School relocation. I share their concerns about the proposal and how we got here. Read my full statement here:

A deeply shocking and distressing situation today at Wootton High School. I am grateful to our first responders and MCPS faculty. My thoughts are with Wootton students and families affected by this tragedy and I will be continuing to follow the response.

I’m proud to have the support of District 1 resident and environmental leader Dave Sears. Watch our conversation on smart growth as we talk about how Montgomery County has been a leader on centering growth near transit hubs as we work to balance our need for housing with our environmental footprint.

Watch my latest video to learn more about my work with Councilmember Berliner to make Montgomery County a leader in solar energy, and how I’ll work to continue investing in solar projects that will generate clean energy and lower your energy bills.

One of the last pieces of legislation I drafted at the Council was a bill to create a composting program. Ten years later, we haven’t made progress. On the Council, I’ll work to deliver a composting program and be an advocate for ways Montgomery County can continue its leadership on the environment.

Watch my final clip with Reed Hundt to learn about my role drafting the legislation and working with Montgomery County Councilmembers to pass the bill establishing the Green Bank. On the Council, I’ll continue to be an advocate for the Green Bank and ensuring it has a dedicated stream of revenues.

Watch the latest clip from my conversation with Reed Hundt to learn the origin story of the Montgomery County Green Bank, our initial goals, and what the Green Bank has accomplished 10 years later.

One of my proudest accomplishments working for former District 1 Councilmember Roger Berliner was helping to create the Montgomery County Green Bank. Watch my conversation with co-founder, former chairman, and CEO of the Coalition for Green Capital Reed Hundt to learn more.

When I talk to small business owners, they all say the same thing: It's too hard to open and grow a small business here in Montgomery County. I’ll work to fix that with better coordination, better management, and a customer-first attitude. Learn more at morrisonforcouncil.com/priorities.

Tuned into @mcdotnow.bsky.social's virtual meeting on the MacArthur Boulevard bikeway and pedestrian safety project tonight.

Trump's cuts have hit District 1 hard. We can fight back by connecting our talented, highly-educated, and motivated workforce with the capital, resources, and support they need to continue their life-saving work. Learn more at morrisonforcouncil.com/priorities.

To grow good-paying jobs here in Montgomery County, we need leaders who will pick up the phone, learn what our top employers and up-and-coming entrepreneurs need, and deliver. Learn more at morrisonforcouncil.com/priorities.

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.

Dr. King's words resonate particularly strongly today: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere...Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." We must continue his work to advance the cause of justice in our community and in our country.

Nicole and I are wishing you all a happy holidays and a wonderful New Year! h/t to @wmata.com for the great sweater options!

Bundled up and ready to talk to voters in East Bethesda!

It is a great day for canvassing here in Maplewood in Bethesda! Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] with your thoughts and ideas!

Scenes from the No Kings Rally at NIH. Protesting to defend science, affordable healthcare for all, our federal workers, and the Constitution!

This is a season we are in. And I want you all to know that after the darkness, morning will surely come. There are no kings in this country. We will keep fighting.

Great to have the support of @dawnluedtke.bsky.social as we advance our campaign!

Stopped by the District 16 Democratic Club for a screening of "Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round" about the efforts to desegregate Glen Echo Park and the continued activism of those who marched and picketed.

Shana tova! Wishing all who celebrate a happy, healthy, and sweet new year!

The news that Montgomery County may face 40,000 job losses from federal cuts and related impacts reinforces a key fact: Job 1, 2, and 3 of the next Council must be to focus on how we can create good-paying jobs to sustain our community. bethesdamagazine.com/2025/09/04/m...
