"I'm running for Council to deliver for the people of Montgomery County. As an immigration and special education attorney and community activist for more than 30 years, I know what it means to face uncertainty and still show up for everyone everyday. We need an experienced fighter who will push forward an agenda for a more inclusive community for all and protect the future of Montgomery County."
