If residents want some choice in whom will represent them on County Council, as County Executive, in the Maryland General Assembly, now is the time to engage. Think it doesn’t matter much? These are the people who make land use decisions, decide what to do with county property, who set tax rates, who decide how much money will go to schools, who control services that affect traffic and many other things that affect quality of life more than anything that happens at a national level. Every Montgomery County voter will receive a detailed ballot booklet which will include their polling place location in the mail.
