He has increased accountability on polluters.That is why he&#8217;s been endorsed by Sunrise Movement Rockville and Food and Water Action.<\/em><\/li><li><em>He has funded our K-12 education at higher levels than ever before, while ensuring schools are being built and students are being taught. It&#8217;s why he was enthusiastically endorsed by our County teachers.<\/em><\/li><li><em>He has been a strong defender of the rights of women to make their own health care decisions, including pushing for a $1 million fund to aid women access abortion resources after the unconscionable Dobbs decision. It&#8217;s why he&#8217;s been endorsed by Pro-Choice Maryland.<\/em><\/li><li><em>He has treated labor as partners instead of as opponents, while still being a great steward of the County&#8217;s tax dollars. This year&#8217;s budget funded important new programs, all without raising taxes. It&#8217;s why he&#8217;s been endorsed by the Metro Washington Council of the AFL-CIO and so many of our County&#8217;s labor unions.<\/em><\/li><li><em>He has made our government and County more equitable by establishing the County&#8217;s first Office of Racial Equity &amp; Social Justice. He has made sure that the members of the office are in the room when important decisions are made, and he has made the County a more welcoming place to immigrants. That is one of the many reasons he&#8217;s been endorsed by CASA in Action, the Association of Black Democrats, the Latino Democratic Club, the Coalition of Asian Pacific American Democrats of Maryland and more.<\/em><\/li><li><em>Marc has made our County safer for so many, while safeguarding the health of our firefighters and public safety officers. It&#8217;s why he&#8217;s been endorsed by the Montgomery County Career Firefighters and the Montgomery Volunteer Fire &amp; Rescue Association.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier today, Rep.
