Marc Elrich has been clear. The election for County Executive is about the future of Montgomery County—how we will prosper, grow, treat each other, and move forward: TOGETHER.

 

County Executive Ike Leggett, Senator Chris Van Hollen, Senator Ben Cardin, and Representative Jamie Raskin—all support Marc for County Executive. They—and the tens of thousands of members of the 30+ endorsing organizations are standing together to support Marc’s plans for a strong, inclusive, responsive county government.

 

Marc will: 

• Focus on early childhood development which will help all our children start out on a level playing field and stay there. 

​

• Use incubators and business centers to give local entrepreneurs a chance to turn their ideas into successful products which will attract businesses to fill the 10 million square feet of empty commercial space in the county. 

​

• Work with county employees to restructure county government to operate more effectively within our budget, and provide the best value for every dollar we invest. 

​

• Include communities. Development is not about the buildings that are built but about the communities we build. That means that development must provide the transportation, schools, recreation facilities and other infrastructure so people will want to live and work here. 

​

• Recognize the urgency of global warming and take concrete steps, including clean energy, energy efficiency and use reduction and increased transit.
