Why I’m Running

Gaithersburg is in great shape—but we all know challenges lie ahead. That’s why I’m running for re-election: to help us navigate what’s next with steady, proven leadership.
Under my leadership, Gaithersburg has become the highest-performing, most effective local government in Maryland. But I’m not done yet. My goal is to keep raising the bar.
With more than two decades of service and activism across every area of municipal governance—and every corner of our city—I bring the experience and perspective this moment calls for.
And here’s something else: I absolutely love this job. I believe our community deserves leaders who enjoy serving. I wake up every day feeling lucky to serve you—and if you’ll have me, I’d be honored to keep doing it.
