WE NEED YOU AT THE POLLS

It's about six to one, Democrats and Non-affiliated voters to Republicans in Montgomery County. The Board of Elections is charged with pairing up officials - most are paid volunteers who work long hours to make sure the elections are valid, fair and accurate. To do this, they need people from all political persuasions - not just the majority. Duties include: Staffing the polling places, checking voters in, verifying their ability to vote, making sure they have the opportunity and then verifying that the count is right and the procedures have been followed.

That's where you come in. If you're a Republican and can serve the folks of Montgomery County as an election worker we need your name. The Primaries are in just a few months. Please contact Republican Committee Members Brigitta Mullican at [email protected] or Lori Jaffe at [email protected] with your name and contact information so we can give a list of workers to the Board of Elections. You can also call MCGOP Headquarters at 301-417-9256 and leave a message.

Yes, we need you to help make the process fair, accurate and timely.

And thanks!

THE CHAIR OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

In January of last year the MCGOP Central Committee adopted a resolution concerning the Chair of the Republican National Committee. It said the following:

"The Republican Party in Montgomery County Maryland wishes to thank Ronna McDaniel for her work on behalf of the Party over the last 6 years.

We believe it’s time for a change and encourage our RNC Committee Members to support a new leadership and fresh ideas by voting for Harmeet Dhillon for RNC Party Chair."

That change never happened and we wished Ms. McDaniel well. Once again the Republican conference is split, the many calling for a change to new leadership.  We want to know what you think.

Common Sense Wins – Bankrupting Granny Fails

The “do-good” lawmakers in the Maryland Fire Marshall’s office and here in Montgomery County were poised to enact yet another law that would have cost Montgomery County taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per family.  But we fought it.

Silently and behind closed doors lawmakers put forth a law that would require high rise condominiums, to install sprinkler systems in all existing buildings at a projected cost of over $30,000 per unit. The cost could be even higher, depending on if a fire pump is needed, the size of the incoming water service and the size of the service from the street.

The Montgomery County Republican Central Committee fought back against this overreach and, working with other groups, got the law declared “not enforced” except in the cases of an “inimicable hazard”, whatever that means!

Our very popular celebration returns to the Hong Kong Pearl (formerly New Fortune) Restaurant, Gaithersburg, MD. with hundreds of neighbor Republicans and friends as we enjoy a fine Lunar New Year feast with candidates, speeches, culture and fun.

Thanks to everyone who donated, volunteered, sponsored tables and attended. More about it in next week's newsletter. In the meantime...

Dr. Monifa McKnight, Prince Georges County resident and Superintendent of the Montgomery County Public Schools was apparently asked to resign from her position by the seven elected Democrat women who run the Board of Education, according to reports in the media. The press speculated it was because of her ignorance of and promotion of a staffer with accusations of emotional abuse and sexual harassment of his staff and employees for years. Might also be because of the continued lack of educational improvement by many black and brown students in the MCPS (not in the private schools). Dr. McKnight and her attorney opposed the dismissal saying that the School Board had never done it to a male superintendent. Yes, they played the GENDER card. Apparently the School Board and the esteemed former superintendent reached a monetary payout before she had to play another card. The color of money trumps a lot, doesn't it.  READ THE STORY BELOW
