Looking back at the things we’ve accomplished this year is humbling. By working together with people across the County, our community is thriving. I can say proudly, & with confidence, that the state of Frederick County is strong! #StateoftheCounty24

Partnerships are incredibly important to solving the problems people face. When government collaborates with community-based organizations, we can serve more people more effectively. #StateoftheCounty24

Our civil servants work hard every day to support our thriving community. I am committed to making our government an employer of choice, providing great benefits & a healthy work environment for our people. #StateoftheCounty24

From expanding adaptive recreation programs, to finding ways for seniors to age in place, to enhancing maternal & newborn health, we are working to ensure healthy & safe communities for all. #StateoftheCounty24

No single solution will solve the housing affordability problem our region is facing, but I am proud to report that in Frederick County we are using all the tools at our disposal to make this a more affordable place for seniors, veterans, & working families. #StateoftheCounty24

As we continue to attract business investment & create high quality jobs, we will never lose sight of our agricultural heritage or our obligation to grow responsibly & sustainably. #StateoftheCounty24

We are making our economy more inclusive & innovative by investing in transit solutions, expanding access to childcare, investing in entrepreneurs, expanding access to technology in underserved communities, & uplifting Main Street businesses. #StateoftheCounty24

Our public schools are one of our greatest strengths. FCPS continues to promote a diverse & inclusive learning environment. Our educators are committed to meeting the needs of every child, every day. #StateoftheCounty24

We are the fastest growing County in the state, which creates opportunities. People want to live & invest here. Young families want to raise their kids, & older residents want to enjoy their golden years here. Entrepreneurs want to create things here. #StateoftheCounty24

I am grateful for the partnership with our federal delegation @SenatorCardin, @ChrisVanHollen and @RepDavidTrone that leads to investments in resilience and clean energy in our community!

In 2016, I sponsored legislation to establish the Frederick Co. Human Trafficking Task Force. Today, we continue working in partnership with INTERCEPT to make are community safer.

My thoughts are with the families impacted by the tragic #FrancisScottKeyBridge incident this morning, the first responders, & the Baltimore community at large. I have been in touch with @MayorBMScott and @BaltCoExec and pledged our support during this incredibly difficult time.
