Yesterday, I joined the County Council and others to celebrate Montgomery County’s 250th anniversary. We have a history to be proud of, but also a history we need to learn from. The question now is what kind of County we want to build for the next 250 years.

Flu season is here, and I got my flu shot today alongside Chief Administrative Officer Rich Madaleno and Deputy CAO Fariba Kassiri. Getting vaccinated is a simple way to help protect yourself and the people around you this fall and winter. ow.ly/2z1T50ZQkjp

Earlier today, I joined County partners to break ground on a new child care facility at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreational Park. This modern, safe space will give children a better place to learn and grow while giving families peace of mind. ow.ly/IOF850ZQeYm

From preserving existing affordable homes to building new ones near transit, we’ve made housing affordability a priority. Since FY19, County investments have helped produce or preserve more than 10,000 affordable homes. Yesterday, I was proud to celebrate 163 more at The Chimes.

Montgomery County employees are finding smarter ways to serve our residents. This year’s Innovation Accelerator projects are saving money, returning staff time and improving how we work. The best ideas often come from the people doing the work every day.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. I joined our community in Rockville to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, including 11 Montgomery County residents, and the first responders who answered the call that day. We will never forget them

I was proud to recognize Montgomery County’s Direct Support Professionals and the essential work they do every day. As the father of an adult son with developmental disabilities, I know personally the difference DSPs make in helping people live with dignity and independence.

Yesterday, I was glad to join the Kensington Labor Day Parade and celebrate the working people who keep Montgomery County moving. Labor Day is a reminder that the rights and protections workers have today were hard fought, and we must continue standing with working families.

I am saddened by the death of Gloria Steinem, whose courage and activism helped change the lives of generations of women and made our country a fairer and more equitable place. Her legacy will continue to inspire the work toward full equality. ow.ly/hzT050ZIZXp
