Dennis Melby

Chairman

Republican Party of Montgomery County, MD

MY FOND FAREWELL

I’ve really enjoyed working for you, both as a Committee Member and Republican Chairman. I’m retiring on Election Day. After November 3, we’ll have new, great leadership.

New ideas, new perspectives are always called for, and I’ve always served well and moved on. I did that on the town council, boards and commissions and even as REALTOR president. 

I’ve always believed in term limits and age limits – and I’m imposing both on myself. It's my second term – 8 years total, and I’ll be 75. Although many disagree on limits I think all offices, from dog catcher to Congress, White House and Supreme Court are better served by both experience - and a fresh perspective.

Thanks for working with me, listening to me when my ideas were good and ALL the suggestions when I was (rarely) off kilter. I’ve enjoyed this chance to lead and to serve.

And I’ll miss you.

Dennis Melby, Chairman
