The annual Committee for Montgomery legislative breakfast, a key event in the Maryland political calendar, recently took place with a record turnout of at least 700 attendees. This event, typically held in mid-December, serves as an opportunity for political, business, and community leaders in Montgomery County to discuss priorities for the upcoming legislative session. Due to scheduling issues, this year’s breakfast was held earlier than usual, but the energy and excitement were just as high.
Speakers at the event included Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, who highlighted the importance of the event, and a range of political leaders such as Gov. Wes Moore, U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, and U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin. The focus of many speeches was the implications of the previous presidential administration’s policies on the county and state. The speakers emphasized the need for collaboration and unity in the face of political challenges.
Officials also discussed upcoming priorities for the state, including transportation, education, and social justice. Despite the many challenges ahead, there was a sense of optimism and determination among the attendees to work together to overcome obstacles and move forward.
In summary, the Committee for Montgomery legislative breakfast provided a platform for political leaders to come together, discuss important issues, and strategize for the upcoming legislative session. Despite the early timing of the event, it was a success with a strong turnout and a focus on collaboration and unity in the face of political challenges.
