An absolute pleasure to guest lecture in housingjames.bsky.social‬ political science course at Montgomery College Rockville. Sharing my experience in local government with the next gen of leaders is one of the most meaningful ways we can help prepare students for public service.

Grateful to neighbors who joined last night’s Public Safety Town Hall.

We discussed many issues with @mcpd1d.bsky.social Commander Satinsky - from traffic safety to community policing - and how we can work together to keep Derwood safe.

Thank you Westside HOA for your partnership!

Better crosswalks, better sidewalks, and ADA accessibility all add up to a safer Montgomery Village Avenue.

Appreciate the community's patience as this important work is implemented.

"Council members have to roll up their sleeves, Luedtke said, 'because it's a time where our residents really need us.'"
