Heroism Ran in the Family

By Kerry August

The Chevy Chase Women's Republican Club persuaded Katja Bullock to be their president two times. Katja worked in the White House under four Republican Presidents serving as Special Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel. President George W. Bush detailed Katja to the Army in Iraq during the Iraq War. With great courage, Katja and Army staff recovered a fallen Lt. Colonel's body from their burning building during a raid. When the war ended and Katja returned to her duties at the White House, she received the gratitude of President Bush. Katja asked President Bush to spend time with the Lt. Colonel's widow, and he did. Katja received the Outstanding American by Choice Award, which recognizes naturalized U.S. citizens who have made exceptional contributions to the United States. To know and understand Katja it helps to know her father.   

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

Good morning Dennis, I unsubscribed from the MoCo Rep newsletter because my husband and I moved to FL. I wish you and my fellow Republicans good fortune in MoCo politics. 

Although ______ and I lived in an Orthodox Jewish bubble of conservative values off of Seven Locks Road in Potomac, we found the general political and educational climates increasingly hostile to those values. We continue to hope and pray for our beloved country and all its communities to be guided by its Judeo-Christian foundation.

I had no idea how closely the Democrats were watching the Cage Fights in front of the White House last week. Little did I know they were in training for early voting in Montgomery County! Last week at Bohrer Park in Gaithersburg a Maryland State Delegate and County Union Boss got into an altercation, knocking over tables, cursing each other and allegedly trading blows. Although it was close to the Republican booth for once the Republicans weren’t the targets of Democrat violence (like Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump) —this time it was each other.

Here’s a video from the Republican booth captured by GOP Treasurer Brigitta Mullican. (Caution: it contains adult language and threats and intimidation)

Montgomery County leaders often speak about the importance of diversity in government. Yet one important form of diversity is frequently overlooked: diversity of thought. I support diversity of thoughts on the County Council: https://youtu.be/Gw4v1itWgeY

That concern came into sharp focus during a recent County Council briefing from the Charter Review Commission, where Chairman Jim Michaels presented a confusing and often disjointed argument against my proposal to broaden political representation on the Montgomery County Council. His comments raised an important question: Does our community truly value diverse perspectives, or only certain kinds of diversity?
