I was pleased to join Maryland @GovWesMoore in Takoma Park yesterday to celebrate the opening of the Richardson School of Music. The owners received a $150,000 grant from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s Project Restore 2.0 program.

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻: With help from the state, @rsofmusic turned this vacant lot into a music school that will educate students and strengthen the community. Just another great example of working in partnership with the Maryland Congressional Delegation, including @ChrisVanHollen and @RepRaskin, and all of our local partners in Montgomery County and Takoma Park to bring businesses to our communities. @jacobrday @MontCoExec @cmkatestewart @TakomaParkMD

I was happy to see Rep. Jamie Raskin and Maryland Senator Cheryl Kagan at this week's Tools to Thrive Expo for nonprofit organizations in Montgomery County. They both know we cannot thrive without the work of our community partners. #MoCoNonprofits @RepRaskin @CherylKagan

Today, I visited Precious Moments Family Childcare in Rockville to read to children for Read Across America Week. As a former teacher, I know what happens when children start school behind in reading. Help them learn and love to read. montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS-Program/CY… #ReadAcrossAmerica

I'm proud to support Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month to encourage education and promote prevention. In Maryland, 1 in 12 high school students report experiencing physical dating violence. We support the safety and well-being of young people. @MoCoWomen

Viva White Oak is a game-changer for East County. Tuesday’s vote by @MoCoCouncilMD moves us from planning and discussion to action. I’m proud of the work we’ve done together, and I look forward to seeing shovels move and this vision becoming reality. #VivaWhiteOak @MCBInvests

It Is has been wonderful spending time with those observing Ramadan as they break fast. Montgomery County works because we respect one another’s traditions and make space for every community to celebrate, reflect, and practice freely. More photos here ow.ly/fXn350YlqJ6
