Progress Over Platitude: Montgomery County GOP Delivers Results for Our Community

By Roxana Allen

In today’s polarized political landscape, Montgomery County residents are often bombarded with slogans, promises, and partisan rhetoric, but little in the way of tangible results.

The Montgomery County Republican Party (MCGOP) held its 2025 convention on Saturday, October 11, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Gaithersburg, Maryland, celebrating recent Republican successes and serving as a call to action for future engagement.

I expect that most of the Senate Democrats that shut down the U.S. government participated in the nationwide “No Kings” rallies of October 18th. Taken in its best light,  “No Kings” as a movement simply supports the rule of law. Of course, we have “No Kings.”  On this 99% of Americans can agree. Yet this is all nonsense. These protests were much more plausibly about opposition to President Trump, as was the government shutdown. But interestingly,  there is an odd disconnect between the ideas that shut down the government and the nominal ideas of the “No Kings” protest. In a strange way, the shutdown works contrary to the “No Kings” movement.

California: Highest gas prices in USA at $4.64 per regular gas

By Peter Huessy

The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the United States is around $3.05, according to recent data from sources like AAA and the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Prices can vary significantly by state and have recently decreased from a month ago. The lowest price is $2.70 /gal for regular. 

California has the highest gas prices in the USA at $4.64 per gallon of regular gas. So the California cost is $1.80 a gallon higher for regular gas. 

If you drive 15,000 miles a year and get 30 miles per gallon, that’s 500 gallons X $1.80 or $900 more per person. Family with 2 drivers increases your costs by $1800.00. 

Go California.

Less than one week ago, the Trump administration secured the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza, marking a moment of relief, justice, and hope for families and allies around the world.

After more than two years in captivity, the return of these hostages is a victory for diplomacy, resolve, and the moral standard that the United States must always uphold.

Conversely, this past weekend’s “No Kings” rallies do not represent the values of the majority of the citizens that live and work in our community. While everyone has the right to free speech, these rallies promote destruction, violence, and misinformation rather than constructive dialogue based on facts. These rallies are nothing more than a partisan stunt designed to demonize millions of Americans who hold different political views.

I encourage anyone reading this to “do the right thing,” to be positive ambassadors of the truth, to listen and to communicate in an open, intellectually honest way. Consider asking a few simple questions:

1. Have your taxes and fees increased? Have you seen any benefits in your everyday lives?
2. Do you think that the MCPS Boundary Analysis study should be used to institute bussing? See: https://youtu.be/0EGSBr3MXQE
3. How are you dealing with the County’s Green Laws? Did you know that you can’t have gas heating and cooking in your homes after 2035? See: https://youtu.be/Yb-0db-Ivfk
4. Given the rise in antisemitism in the County, do you feel safe where you live, work, worship or your kids go to school?
5. How are your kids doing in public school? With all the money that we have given the school system, why are the latest MCAP scores showing 55% proficiency? See: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Assessments/ElaPerformance/3ELA/3/6/3/1/15/XXXX/2025
6. Do you support Will Jawando’s defunding the police and taking school resource officers out of schools? See: https://youtu.be/l9R2vVXJFW0

Instead of slogans of anger, we should focus on what the local elected officials have given us and propose practical solutions that strengthen our community. True progress comes from working together.

Our community deserves leadership and activism that build bridges, not events designed to tear people down or undermine the democratic process. We must reject efforts that encourage chaos or disrespect toward our institutions and one another. Yes, you will see me at various Democrat events having two-way conversations with various candidates, asking questions, and offering solutions.

Republicans believe in limited government, constitutional balance, and freedom for every citizen — the very opposite of tyranny. While the “No Kings” movement stages protests, we are focused on addressing the real issues facing our County: inflation, taxes, public safety, and the education of our children.

It’s time to stop the theatrics and start working for the American people. The “No Kings” movement divides; Republicans are working to deliver results.
