I am a graduate of Wootton High School, where a student was recently shot. I understand the victim is currently in stable condition.
This heartbreaking incident is a sobering reminder of how critical school safety truly is. It is deeply concerning that the Montgomery County Council, led by Will Jawando, voted to remove School Resource Officers from our high schools while claiming, “Montgomery County has the opportunity to lead on this.”
I firmly believe we must fully fund and support our police. Our schools need effective weapons detection and School Resource Officers in every high school to help protect students and staff.
Every parent, student, teacher, and community member deserves to feel safe—at school, at work, and in places of worship.
I am running to represent County Council District 1, and when elected, I will vote to support our police and restore School Resource Officers in our schools.
