DEFUNDING THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS

Because the School Board and the County Executive defunded the SROs (School Resource Officers), the kids act out even more than normal, this week calling in numerous prank gun and bomb threats and violent incidents in the MoCo public schools. We need the SROs back.

SPANISH LANGUAGE RADIO MEGA RESULTS

Why have we had over 12,000 views of the Ad on our Montgomery County Republican Party Facebook site so far?

Everyone who speaks Spanish is not the same...but the Republican message resonates with almost everyone!

Indeed, we're all the same...we're all different. All English speakers don't come from the same places and backgrounds, the same for Hispanics. In our diverse MoCo our top languages are English, Spanish, Chinese and then follow the chart with almost every language under the sun.

MCGOP has a Spanish language ad on La Jefa AM 700 WDMV, produced by the Maryland GOP Hispanic-Latino Outreach Committee.

If you speak Spanish check it out. HERE.

Essentially it says Vote Republican...you can't afford NOT TO!

WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT?

Survey from last week was interesting. So far Biden and Obama got no votes, most popular Democrat President in the past 50 years among Republicans was Clinton, followed by Carter!

As we go on to the election in November it might help to look at the past and see what's relevant.

THANKS TO ALL WHO WORKED THE POLLS

Most stories were of Republicans, Democrats and Independents working together, with thoughtfulness and humor, to make democracy work. Thanks for keeping it civil and making our choices known.


MARC ELRICH'S CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST

 

By Lori Jaffe 

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich gave his State of the County (SOTC) address on May 2nd, 2024. He lamented that our Police Department is understaffed, and it has a recruitment problem. But what he did not say was that his own policy helped make that happen. You can help the Committee for Better Government limit him to two terms, but you must act soon. Ten thousand valid signatures must be gathered by August 2024. (See below).

So why is the Montgomery County Police Department “almost 170 officers short?” According to Elrich, “We can’t even field the people we need to cover the county right now.” It will “at best take 2 to 3 years to get it back on track to staff this department.” “We cannot operate with these few police officers.”

Montgomery Perspective quotes the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 35. “The low morale is driven by laws, enacted or proposed, that have had negative effects on the way law enforcement officers do their job.”

Maryland GOP Spring 2024 Convention

We had a big turnout at the Maryland Republican Party Convention held in Hagerstown, Maryland last Friday and Saturday.  It was good seeing Senate nominee Governor Larry Hogan and CD 6 Congressional Nominee Delegate Neil Parrott. President Donald Trump called in on RNC Committeeman and MoCo resident David Bossie's cellphone, and talked to the group urging us to work to Make America Great Again!
Robin Ficker, Delegate Dan Cox and General John Teichert also joined us, and wanted to make sure we thanked all the voters in MoCo who supported them - and to urge folks to vote the Republican ticket in November.
We elected Bossie and RNC Committeewoman Nicolee Ambrose to another term on the Republican National Committee, stressed Party outreach to the minority community and look forward to sending so many folks to Milwaukee this summer to elect Donald Trump and his running mate (who will that be?) as the next President of the United States.
Who should he pick as VP? Share the name and we'll share it with the President. Tell us at [email protected]
