It’s a well-known fact that change doesn’t happen overnight.

So, first things first: Our Concerned Citizens rally on September 13, 2019 raised awareness about our fight to end Montgomery County’s non-cooperation with ICE and protect our families and children from illegal immigrant criminals preying not only the immigrant community but society at large.

Then came the petition to rescind the order for all Montgomery County agencies to not cooperate with ICE, and the terrible national press coverage on further efforts to make Montgomery County a sanctuary county

Finally . . . . at last …… County Executive Mark Elrich actually opened up a little and focused bit by bit on the fiasco he had created.

Montgomery County, like most of America, is lucky to have a vast network of Republican Women’s organizations.  Many have said that the women’s groups have been the backbone of the party here for many years.  And next year is the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment recognizing the right to vote for all, regardless of gender.

The reasons offered by Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich for banning the public display of the thin blue line flag are baseless. He stated that he was responding to the fact that the flag had been adopted by Blue Lives Matter, which was established in response to Black Lives Matter. Given that Black Lives Matter did not invent the English language, there is no patent at issue here.

Asked What Should We be Doing Now?  My answer:  Get the President Re-elected!

Please give me specifics, she said

I've been noticing an increase in the number of readers who want more information on how they can actually fight back against a tide of, for lack of a better description, progressive political activity including election victories by the Open Borders Left intent on changing America by changing the people.

First and foremost, remember they have been working away at their progressive agenda for years, for decades!  Community organizing is in their DNA!

STATEMENT BY MONTGOMERY COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
CHAIRMAN, ALEXANDER A. BUSH

BLUE LIVES/ALL LIVES MATTER

Rockville, MD -- The decision last week by Montgomery County Executive Marc Ehrlich to forbid the display of a donated, homemade, wooden replica of the 'thin blue line' flag to a Germantown police station is patently ridiculous.  This artwork was created and donated by a father and son in honor of First Responders Day.  I cannot think of a more appropriate or welcome gift to those in our community who keep us safe.  Montgomery County Republicans join Governor Hogan in his understandable outrage at the complete over-reaction on the part of County Executive Ehrlich, who does nothing but complain of the relationship between police and the community.  We believe that the donation represents the exact opposite of what he alleges to be the problem.  The vast majority of the residents in our county, regardless of party, recognize the incredible skill, dedication and sacrifice of our police, firefighters and first-responders.  We believe that Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter.

On Sunday afternoon, November 3^rd, nearly 60 Trump supporters gathered at the Montgomery County GOP headquarters to show their support for our president and enjoy each others’ company on a very special day – which was exactly 365 days before the 2020 re-election of President Trump.

Josephine Wang, our nominee as the Montgomery County Trump Victory Team Chair, organized the event and provided a lineup of GOP notables to kick off the year-long campaign to re-elect our president to another four-year term.

Recently, James Hohman and I argued that Maryland should stop using special tax incentives to encourage specific businesses to enter or expand in Maryland, and instead adopt broad business tax reform that would help all Maryland businesses. A new audit report of the Maryland Department of Commerce reinforces our argument.
