FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MONTGOMERY COUNTY BALLOT COMMITTEES CELEBRATE SUCCESS AT THE BALLOT BOX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broad coalition of religious, business, labor, and community groups thanks all the members and partners who worked tirelessly to protect the future of Montgomery County.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, November 5, 2020 — With a shared vision of a better Montgomery County that works for everyone, we successfully took our message to voters about the County ballot questions. Every vote counts and, as our County\u2019s dedicated election workers complete the count, we take a moment to acknowledge the power of our community working together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a time when our country is so divided, Montgomery County showed how broad and diverse coalitions can work side by side to address tough issues. Whether it is tax policy or representation, the politics of lifting people up is more powerful than tearing people down. When we believe changes are needed, we are capable of coming together as a community to make it happen. We are confident in the opportunity ahead to build a better and stronger future for all Montgomery County residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
