20 | Leisure World News May 4, 2018 MOVING OUR COUNTY FORWARD

David is a progressive Democrat and lifelong resident of Montgomery County. It’s where he went to school, met his wife and where they’re raising their family. It’s also where he started and grew a healthcare business that became a Fortune 500 company with thousands of employees.

Our County Council hasn’t done enough to address some of our most pressing issues and has become dependent on raising property taxes to fund county services. As County Executive, David will fight to make our county the best place in the nation. He’ll leverage his successful business background to implement innovative solutions to improve the quality of life for all residents without raising taxes. Key priorities include:

 Grow our economy, create more high-wage jobs and generate new revenue to pay for education, transportation and other county programs and services without raising your taxes.

 Improve transportation accessibility by making Ride On buses free, enhancing pedestrian safety measures and implementing “smart” traffic lights across the county to reduce congestion, travel times and emissions. Longer term, expand on-demand rideshare vans for point- to-point transportation.

 Expand the availability of affordable senior housing by putting a stop to increasing property taxes and enhancing our affordable housing program for low-income, older adults with new and creative solutions.

 Launch our “Ask-A-Pharmacist” program to save seniors on out-of- pocket prescription drug costs and add telemedicine technology in our senior centers for immediate access to medical professionals.

 Invest in our education system to close the achievement gap by expanding early childhood education and adding more programs to ensure all students graduate high school college- or career-ready.

 Keep our schools safe by providing free gun safes and safety demonstrations to MCPS parents and launching an anonymous tip app in our schools.
