Maryland is paying the price for Trump’s trade war. Canada is Maryland’s #1 export market. Trade wars may make for tough talk on cable news, but here in Maryland, we’re talking about jobs, prices and our economy.
Maryland Matters headline: How does trade war with Canada hit Maryland, hon?
Pretty hard, eh?
Canada is Maryland's biggest export market, with $2.2 billion in goods sent north in 2025;
$2.8 billion was imported that year

Big discussion today on trash management. What do we do with the 1.5 million tons of waste produced every year? Where do we put the trash we generate if we close the incinerator? How can we increase recycling and food composting?

My colleagues and I on the Economic Development Committee are reviewing the strategic plan for Visit Montgomery, the county’s visitor and tourism bureau. What’s your favorite place or thing about Montgomery County that more people should know about?

A true joy to attend the renaming of Gaithersburg’s Olde Towne Plaza as Sidney Katz Plaza. I’m so appreciative to have served alongside Sidney and to know his warmth, humor and deep commitment to our community.

When you work 9 to 5, every dollar matters. And on Dolly Parton Day, it’s a fitting reminder that the people who work hard deserve to be paid fairly for their work. I’m proud to have authored the Pay Equity Act and make equal pay a reality in county government. www.mymcmedia.org/county-nearl...

This is very cool. The New York Times created an interactive map that shows how people in the United States identify their ancestry or family origin. Here’s how Montgomery County residents self identified.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Beryl Feinberg, a former Rockville City Councilmember and longtime Montgomery County public servant. Her leadership and friendship touched so many lives. My thoughts are with her husband Ed and her family. May her memory be a blessing.

Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore. When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.

Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

This is a big deal for Montgomery County. Yesterday the County Council passed an 18-month pause on new data center development. I’ve been advocating for a pause because we need to slow down, ask the right questions, and set a responsible path forward.

Every person in Montgomery County deserves to feel safe. A new online tool now allows residents to anonymously report ICE activity in our community so that neighbors and service providers can better respond and help ensure people know their rights. www.mymcmedia.org/new-online-s...

Effective today Montgomery County's minimum wage is increasing across the board. With increases ranging from 35 to 50 cents an hour, this is an important step to ensuring people earn what they deserve for the work they do.

Thank you, MoCo
I’ve been monitoring the election results, and as a former CNN journalist, I know when the hill is too steep to climb.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who volunteered, donated and believed in our vision for a more affordable and inclusive Montgomery County. Over the course of this campaign, we held 114  house parties in every corner of Montgomery County to hear directly from residents about their hopes and concerns for the future of our community.

What we fought for — improving our schools, expanding housing opportunities, and protecting our most vulnerable neighbors — will not end with this one election. These are the challenges that the next County Executive and Council must take on urgently together.

And if we want a democracy that truly reflects the voices of our community, we must continue fighting for reforms that reduce the influence of big money in politics and empower every voter with ranked choice voting.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I remain deeply hopeful for Montgomery County’s future and I look forward to continuing to fight for our community.

Trump spent $14 million trying to fix the Reflecting Pool. Unfortunately he spent the last decade turning Washington into a cesspool.

I was happy to cast my vote for you for partly this reason - the negative ads are actually backfiring on the candidates putting them out. I want a positive candidate focused on what THEY can do for residents, not attacking other people.

Today, Montgomery County is finally taking action on data centers that our residents have demanded. I'm glad County Executive Marc Elrich and colleagues now support my proposal for a six-month pause on data centers. I didn't wait until days before an election to do what was right.
