The Melby Minute

 
Dennis Melby
Chairman
Republican Party of Montgomery County, MD
A funny thing happened last week. We didn't notice that the group of Republicans at a well attended parade photo shoot has been joined by an Evan Glass for County Executive fan, with a big poster in the background. Glass was one of the losers for Montgomery County Executive.
You're got to give it to the fan...we didn't notice 'til after the pix was published. I laughed, it takes chutzpah! Kinda like having Esther Wells' pix in Will Jawando's campaign paraphernalia without them noticing. You have to laugh. That's the only place you'll see them together - he refuses to debate her although he rakes in the county tax money for his campaign.
I've driven past the "No Kings" protest - they're not al all funny. They have drawings of guillotines with TRUMP on them. They have posters that say "86 - 47" and worse.
Compared to that, a little humor is a good thing!

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT

Be the Change

Five more weeks. What’s more important?

  • Montgomery County - who’ll raise more taxes, install more empty bike lanes, allow more crime, and if they can’t tax it, regulate it?
  • Maryland who’ll raise more taxes, spend more and and more and more money, pile up more lawsuits while eliminating the last Republican Congressional seat?
  • Washington, a Congress where they’ll impeach, impeach, and impeach, investigate, revoke the Big Beautiful Bill and raise taxes, and reopen the border?

Yep, it’s an important year. Get out and vote.

  • Vote by mail
  • Vote early in person
  • Vote on election day…but vote.

This is the year. I’ve put out our Voter’s Guide, see it in the newsletter or click on a copy HERE. Examine the candidates on our award winning webpage HERE.

Work the in-person polling places. Sign up as a judge HERE. A little work helps the community and the Party.  Come by headquarters on Saturday and chat, pick up some literature or maybe a sign. We’re happy to see you.

How to Choose a Candidate to Support – Turn Purple 2 BlueWork for a candidate to go that extra mile. We have the best volunteer candidates stepping up to the plate. They bring the professionalism, honesty and moderation to office we desperately need in this one party place – a place so close to becoming led by a socialist majority you can feel the fear from our legal immigrant community - who’ve all experienced it back home.

Great feedback, keep it coming, write to me at [email protected]. I read every one, but can’t answer everyone. Help us a little with paying for the Voter’s Guide HERE. Come chat at an event HERE.

Time's a’wastin’…help us return sanity, affordability and common sense before it’s too late. More civility, dial back the rhetoric and get a little progress going for ALL our great folks in Montgomery County. Unhappy Democrats, Republicans and Non-Affiliated are all in the same boat. Let's work together. You’ll be pleased with the results…I guarantee it.

Dennis Melby
