Through meetings, research and experiences - ideas for legislation are derived. As residents of Montgomery County, we should all have a watchful eye and be able to point out when change in our communities is needed. The County Council is the legislative body responsible for passing laws in Montgomery County. The body is made up of nine councilmembers, each serving four year terms. If you have ideas on ways your community could be different, share those ideas with me. From zoning, to homelessness prevention, to traffic safety and environmental protection - the Council does it all.
