OPPOSED TO RANKED CHOICE VOTING
By Amy Waychoff
Thank you for this opportunity to testify. My name is Amy Waychoff and I have lived in Montgomery County for 36 years.
I oppose Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for many reasons. Just look at Arlington County’s experience during the primary election this year. They used RCV, but then abandoned it for the general election primarily because the process is so confusing. According to the Board’s Vice Chair,
“There are a whole lot of people where maybe their second votes never count,. . . Maybe I don’t completely understand it.”*

THE SHIFT TO REPUBLICAN IS HAPPENING WITH MANY COMMUNITIES
Asian voters are shifting to Republican. So are Hispanic Latino voters. Most recently Jewish voters supported Democrats by about 70% That tide is turning as they see there is not the reciprocity by many members of that party to support them. Why do you think this is occurring? Let us know at [email protected]
The Charter Review Commission Seeks Input of Residents on Possible Revisions to County Charter
The Montgomery County Charter Review Commission is soliciting public comments on what matters the commission should consider for possible revisions to the County’s Charter.

Currently the voters cannot recall an elected Montgomery County official for any reason. With the public schools serving us poorly, you can not recall a School Board official. And currently our Montgomery County Executive can serve more terms than the Governor or the President! Although the Charter Review Commission is controlled by Democrats, they might want to hear your opinion on these and many other issues.
Wreaths Across America 23
The Upper Montgomery Republican Women’s Club (UMRWC) and the Rural Women’s Republican Club (RWRC) will participate in Wreaths Across America on Saturday, December 16 starting at 12:00 Noon. Please plan to arrive around 11:30 am at your chosen location to park and meet and greet - parking gets scarce! Everyone is invited to attend.

After a short outdoor ceremony, we will walk through the historic cemetery and place our wreaths on the veterans' graves.

From the Non-partisan Committee for Better Government
Do you feel the County Executive listens to your concerns, and takes your wishes into account when making decisions? Watch this video and volunteer to hold him to two terms!

The “Committee for Better Government” was formed to limit the number of consecutive four-year terms that the Montgomery County Executive may hold. Currently, the County Executive can have three consecutive terms before he/she is term limited. The purpose of this ballot petition is to secure enough signatures to get the question on the ballot for the 2024 election.
We want to ensure that no Montgomery County Executive serves more terms than the US President or the Maryland Governor. If it's good enough for Reagan, Obama, and Hogan, isn’t it good enough for our County? The two four-year term limit is consistent throughout most of the counties in Maryland. TELL ME MORE>
JEWS ARE NATIVE TO THE MIDDLE EAST
Anti-Israel critics say that the Jews are foreign invaders in the Middle East who have displaced the native people. This is the core of their argument, and they repeat this argument constantly.
But the fact is that Jews have always lived in the Middle East. Its just that they were historically a minority group scattered throughout the Arab countries and Iran. The Jews didn't move to the ME from somewhere else. They were always there. They're indigenous to the ME.
KIDNAPPED FROM ISRAEL
The Montgomery County GOP Central Committee stands in firm support of Israel in its fight against Hamas-sponsored terrorism, plus the battle against anti-semitism here and abroad. Each week we will continue to remind our readers about the hostages held captive until they are all accounted for and safely returned home. Please keep them in your thoughts, conversations, and prayers. "Never again" is now.
UPDATE: Margalit was released November 24.
