Tom's Bold Vision

And the Track Record to Get It Done

Education

Our public schools are our most valuable and worthwhile investment for our future. Tom knows we have to support our educators first. And he is committed to expanding high-quality pre-k and child care programs.

Jobs

Tom believes the only path to prosperity for Montgomery County is when our local economy works for everyone. Tom will keep fighting for the policies that ensure economic opportunity, living wages, and dignity for all.

Housing

We have a housing crisis pushing the dream of homeownership out of reach. Tom will dedicate new resources, fight for zoning reforms, and look for every opportunity to deliver new affordable housing for families.

Equity

Institutional racism has created inequities deep within our society. As County Executive, Tom will direct the county government to close these gaps.

Stronger Communities

Stronger, safer communities improve the lives of all community members. Tom has a vision for community based public safety, restorative justice, improved mental health services, new investments in our parks and recreation.

Climate Emergency

Housing

We have a climate emergency—and we need to act like it. Tom will bring stakeholders together to enact real change to help combat climate change.

COVID

Montgomery County is still suffering two full years into the COVID-19 pandemic. Tom’s approach is to rely on expert guidance, and focus on setting up equitable systems of service delivery.

Transportation

Safe and reliable transportation is crucial to ensure all residents have access to economic opportunities. That’s why Tom will continue to fight for transit equity across our county.

Small Businesses

Healthy small businesses are the cornerstone of a strong economy and a vibrant culture. Tom will focus the county to grow and support our small businesses.

Smart Growth

Our county must do what it can to create welcoming and sustainable communities. Through planning and development we can address rising unaffordability, climate change, and inequity.

Voting Rights

The right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy, but there are are still far too many obstacles to voting, especially for black and brown people. Tom will continue to fight to increase access.

Service

We have to support and empower our nonprofit partners. We must provide resources, strategy and supplies to ensure that they can continue to offer excellent services to our most vulnerable residents.
