“… I'm voting for Marc Elrich. I have known Marc for most of my life. He's always the same Marc. You know what you're going to get with Marc Elrich. We can count on him. And we counted on him through covid 19, where Montgomery County became one of the leading counties in America to get people back to promote public health. and for that reason alone, we owe you a debt of gratitude. there are two kinds of politicians out there. there are power politicians and there are justice politicians. Marc Elrich has always been the quintessential justice politician. and so that means he needs everybody to get out and vote.” – Jamie Raskin

“ The past four years have been the most challenging in Montgomery County’s recent history. We have emerged solid and strong, and Marc Elrich’s leadership was instrumental in guiding us safely through. I strongly support his re-election.”
Former Maryland State Treasurer Nancy Kopp
"During some of the toughest fiscal times we’ve seen, including a global pandemic, Marc Elrich with the County Council passed progressive budgets, which made historic investments in education, environmental protection, and preserving affordable housing, and he did all that within budget constraints. The County is in a healthy financial place thanks to his leadership. I look forward to voting for him for reelection and hope you join me.”

PRO- CHOICE MARYLAND ACTION
"In the race for Montgomery County Executive, Pro-Choice Maryland Action is proud to have voted overwhelmingly to endorse the re-election of Marc Elrich! There is absolutely no question about where Marc stands on abortion access and reproductive freedom. County Executive Elrich has not only spoken out forcefully in support of abortion access but most importantly, he backs up his words with swift action. Marc was the first County Executive in our state to immediately put aside a million dollars in the county budget to support independent clinics, funds, and grassroots groups fighting to expand abortion access. Marc is an unwavering champion for abortion access and reproductive freedom, and the people of Montgomery County are lucky to have such moral leadership at the helm as we embark on uncharted territory in a post-Roe world.
Marc has more than earned his re-election and Pro-Choice Maryland Action is so excited to partner with him all the way to victory and beyond!"
- LILY BOLOURIAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of PRO-CHOICE MARYLAND ACTION
CASA in ACTION
“Four years ago, I supported Marc Elrich as a candidate for County Executive, because of his record on the County Council standing up for working families, giving a voice to those county residents who can’t afford million-dollar lobbyists. Those values were so important to the leadership he showed during the pandemic, when he was steadfast in support of county workers, and made protecting vulnerable seniors his top priority. I am proud to support Marc Elrich again, as he runs for re-election.”
Senator susan lee
"Marc Elrich has been an outstanding County Executive. His leadership has guided us through the toughest challenges created by the pandemic and protected our health by always putting people first. Marc stood strong with us in fighting hate and violence and has helped make Montgomery County a welcoming, vibrant, and richly diverse county. Continuing as our County Executive, Marc will be able to build on his sterling track record of leadership, experience, and getting results to make Montgomery County an even better place to live, work, and educate our children."
Senator Ben Kramer
"Marc has been a steady hand at the helm of Montgomery County government during a turbulent period caused by the global pandemic. That is why I am endorsing Marc Elrich for a second term as our County Executive.
Marc’s pragmatism and thoughtful style of governance has kept Montgomery County moving forward during this challenging time. He has ensured that our schools, libraries, recreation facilities, senior centers, and transit needs have been fully funded without raising taxes… not an easy task. At the same time, County Executive Elrich has been a national leader in managing the pandemic and protecting our citizens through this very challenging time. He has worked diligently to improve the business climate here and to help businesses thrive and grow.
As a state Senator representing Montgomery County, I know that Marc has been a partner in our successful efforts to bring much-needed state revenue to Montgomery County for our important projects like the Bus Rapid Transit system that Marc has worked tirelessly to implement.
I look forward to continuing our collaboration over the next four years to continue making Montgomery County the premier place to work, raise a family, and to retire."
