Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Dear Neighbor,

I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself as the newly elected District 4 representative on the Montgomery County Council. I look forward to reaching out to all members of the community and providing the steady, responsive representation that the late Councilmembers Marilyn and Don Praisner were so well-known for. I hope you'll provide your input and come to me with the issues of concern to you, because I am humbled to be able to give back to the community that has been so wonderful to my family for the past two decades.

In the meantime, I'm rolling up my sleeves, so please read about some of the initiatives we have already kicked off. Also, stay tuned for the announcement of a schedule of community conversations I will be hosting throughout our neighborhoods.

Thanks so much!

Nancy
