Since Bethesda Today won't publish my Letter to the Editor, I'm sharing it with you here.

Dear Bethesda Today:

Now let me say clearly - as both the present Chairman of the Republican Central committee, and the former President of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (GCAAR) I’d be thrilled if they sent out a team of well dressed canvassers, a press release, a mailing, a Weather balloon, a TV ad, or even a TikTok video telling which MoCo Republicans to vote for. Wouldn't embarrass us at all.

That’s not only their right but their duty and I’m all for it, don’t ask permission, what’s the old Nike ad? JUST DO IT!

We have great candidates, we have a great team, and come November we'll finally have a place at the table. I KNOW IT.

DENNIS MELBY
Chairman
Republican Party of Montgomery County Maryland

Republican volunteers spanned the county during early voting, from Gaithersburg to Burtonsville to Bethesda to Potomac. Turnout was low for Republicans, the weather was hot hot hot. We thank the souls who braved the heat. Mail in, Early Voting and Election Day will complete the cycle. (And of course since it's Maryland we may know results within a week.)

For the average homeowner, the combined impact is expected to exceed a 12% increase.
