Tom Hucker - A Proven, Progressive Leader for Silver Spring

As a former member of the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board, I believe that for my family and my neighbors in Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and East County, Tom Hucker is the best candidate to represent us on the County Council. 

Tom has done great work in the General Assembly to improve our community, advance our progressive values, and move an agenda beneficial to all Marylanders. As a state lawmaker for nearly eight years and an active member of the Economic Matters Committee, Tom has had real responsibility for a state budget of $27 billion and all of the vital programs that entails. I think it's important that our next Councilmember have practical experience making change, and Tom has played a key role in raising the minimum wage, making government accountable, improving education, and making our environment healthier for us and our kids. Tom's successful leadership of Progressive Maryland demonstrates the dedication and abilities that will make him an incredible member of the Montgomery County Council focused on our community. 


In the election for County Council in District 5, Tom Hucker stands out as having the real, practical experience and a record of accomplishment that demonstrates how he will be an effective champion to ensure that Montgomery County continues to progress.
