Reardon "Sully" Sullivan, candidate for County Council - District 1

I’m paying close attention to the public debate surrounding Superintendent Taylor’s proposed closure of Wootton High School. This matter warrants open and intellectually honest discussion within the public forum. I respect Council Members Yamil Hernandez, Adam Van Grack, and others who have shared their perspectives in a professional and thoughtful manner.

At the highest level, the mission of Montgomery County Public Schools should be the education of our children. That mission should not be subordinated to large-scale bussing initiatives intended to engineer social diversity, as referenced in Superintendent Taylor’s Boundary Study introduction video (see the 2:10 mark) HERE

They were all dead. Left locked in the back of a semi trailer in the hot southern California desert. The cartel smugglers had fled days before, they'd already gotten their money and decided it wasn't worth getting caught by the border patrol because of a broken down truck. The ICE agents unlocked the truck to see the carnage, the misery and the death from the 120 degree heat, folks had clawed each other trying to get just one more breath of air. The agents started to remove the corpses, most agents were Hispanic, and the folks looked a lot like them, good guys and bad guys come in all colors.

Homan spied a 6 year old boy in the back. He froze "take everyone out - leave the boy" he said. When the men were out he went in and gingerly picked up the little boy. "He reminds me of my son" he said, gently carried him out and sat with him a while. Tom Homan is a crusty guy. Doesn’t smile a lot and is serious most of the time.

When he was with me in Gaithersburg the end of last year he teared up when talking about this particular rescue. He made us all cry, no one deserves to be treated in such a horrible fashion, and he vowed to protect the victims of the cartels. He also vowed to protect the American victims facing the onslaught of gang members, released prisoners, mental inmates, traffickers and violent criminals being sent to America because of our open borders. 

President Trump named him “Border Czar”, Kamala Harris' old position. Alejandro Mayorkis said the border is secure...it was not. It is now. NOT ONE person comes into the US illegally now. Kids, women and most immigrants will be safer because of it.

As a public service, we thought it would be a good time to warn you up front about the candidates that the far-Left will be dishing up this election season. Talk to your neighbors about them. Warn your friends!

Starters

Sheepshead Salad – Named after County Executive candidate Will Jawando, this salad has plenty of greens, from you, the taxpayers. The protein is marinated mutton, a reference to Jawando’s tendency to masquerade as a moderate voice.

Jawan-dough Soup – This soup pairs well with the above starter. But be careful – although the soup looks inviting at first glance, if it is left to stand, it takes on a somewhat sleazy appearance.

The Republican Club has a huge problem…..our numbers are growing and we continue to ask for more chairs at meetings.  Our speaker, Reardon “Sully” Sullivan did not disappoint as he reiterated the same sad scenarios plaguing our county and state under current leadership. Failing schools, lack of voter integrity – there are more people on the voter rolls than citizens, high taxes, high energy costs and a county that has businesses moving out and none moving in. Not one Democratic representative in the state of Maryland voted to keep boys out of girls’ sports. How many of your friends and family in Leisure World and Montgomery County are moving out because it’s just too expensive?  In Sully Reardon’s words “the only way to make things better is to vote for a change. Also in attendance were from left: Reardon “Sully” Sullivan, Chris Burnett running for Maryland’s 6^th Congressional District [email protected], Dennis Melby, Chairperson MCGOP Central Committee, and Fitzgerald Mofor (https://www.mofor4md.com/) running for Maryland House of Delegates. 

Join us at our next meeting on Wednesday, February 11 @ 1:30 pm. in Clubhouse 1/Chesapeake Room. Everyone is welcome! We are reaching “across the aisle” as we invite Democrat ADAM VAN GRACK, to present “Holding Hands – The Benefit of Republicans and Democrats Working Together.”  Adam Van Grack is a Council Member for the city of Rockville and serves as liaison to the Environment Commission and the Recreation and Park Advisory Board.  He co-founded his own law firm and is now co-chairman of the Bar Association of Montgomery County Legal Ethics Committee. He advocates for small businesses, economic growth, and increased public safety. Come and listen with an open mind to be educated on a variety of diverse solutions to our local and state problems. Don’t forget to check out our Shadow Box #14 in Clubhouse 1.

Last year, the County Council unanimously voted to ban gas heating in County homes and businesses beginning in 2035. This mandate, which eliminates consumer choice, is clearly stated on page 8 of the County Staff Report ( BEPS Staff Report ).

Thanks to those who sent feedback! Here are some comments that we received last week:
