Dan Cox for Governor

Esther Wells for County Executive

Freedom, Democracy and Prosperity. It’s what we’ve always been about. Yet so many are afraid those values are no longer attainable. Let me tell you, they are!

Free and fair elections determine our elected leadership. When folks doubt the results, they worry. So help those of us trying to make sure this happens. Make sure only legal citizens vote, make sure votes are counted accurately and quickly – like they are in most of the democracies in the world. And make sure the results are accurate and delivered asap. It’s not too much to ask. Volunteer when you can to work with the elections, the candidates, or the parties and interest groups – to make sure we have valid information and honest results.

IT"S LIKE WE LIVE IN TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS

Freedom is freedom for everyone. After Saturday’s protest, it’s like we live in two different worlds – but most Republicans are supportive of their right to demonstrate – even if they disagreed vehemently with their messages, techniques and dubious funding sources. America and MoCo are strong enough to tolerate political disagreement – without violence. Let’s ensure that.

Prosperity is tougher. I and most Republicans believe the free market and honest labor ensure the most resources to our communities, our friends and our families. Socialism and Communism are failed methods – forcibly taking from some and giving to others drives away enterprise and leads to lower productivity and higher demands for resources from others. It’s a recipe for disaster and has never worked in any society.

Here in MoCo we are poised to make a substantial change in November. We’ve got great candidates for many offices, and we’ll have major wins and major changes in 2027. No longer will we have single party rule, there will be actual conversations about results, instead of how far left to go and how high to raise taxes. Won’t that be refreshing?

Stay up to date. Meet the candidates, ask them questions and when you find the ones you like, support them. Work to get them elected and if you can donate to their campaigns, do so. You’ll be happy with the results – I guarantee it!

Come by HQ Saturday for Coffee with the Chairman. Check out my schedule HERE for next week, and come to one of the events I’m speaking at. We need you, we thank you for your support and efforts, and I personally wish you a Happy Passover, Happy Easter and wonderful Spring.

Yep, we still need the money for the 40,000 sample ballots. If you’d like to help me stock the fund, please donate HERE or at the site further down in this newsletter. And thanks for joining us and being on the right side.

The Wizards of Rockville Strike Again

We have prepared this detailed analysis to show homeowners, commercial property owners, multi-family landlords—and by extension their tenants—what the "Wizards of Rockville" have cooked up now!

The tax math and language these officials use is obtuse at best. But YOU know when you get stuck with a huge tax hike, compounded with ever-increasing assessments by Maryland's State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) that are just jaw-dropping.

Not to be outdone by what they caused in 2023 by raising tax rates, recording fees, and mortgage fees—County Executive Marc Elrich, "Senator" Will Jawando, and Council Members Kristin "Fix My Flat Tire" Mink, Natalie Fani-Gonzalez, "Takoma Kate" Stewart, Laurie-Anne Sayles, and Sidney Katz are back at it in 2026, pushing massive tax increases due this September.

Elrich, Jawando, and the Council majority refuse to do their jobs to balance the County and School budgets without punishing taxpayers.

Thanks to those who sent in feedback! Here is some of the feedback that we received.

Moore

What will it take to unseat Moore and put in a Republican? MD is in a bad place if it remains blue…. Thanks

Back The Blue

Dear Mr. Melby:  thank you for another great article.  Of course we should support the police.  Of course they should have security at the schools.  I even think they should have the same security at the schools that they use at airports with bag checks etc.. Only by being proactive will we prevent another school tragedy. 

Safety
Police guard banks, Our children are more valuable and should be protected at schools.

We tease the Democrats 'cause we love 'em! ...and it seems to be true.
