It's the end of an era as @judashman takes the dais one last time.
Looking forward to the completion of this project!
🚧✨ Construction is officially underway on Gaithersburg’s newest municipal building at 12 S. Summit Ave! This 65,000‑sq‑ft, sustainable facility will unite key City services, support 158 employees, and further the revitalization of Olde Towne. Coming late 2027! 🌱🏙️

⚠️ Montgomery County has issued a localized PFAS health advisory for a stream and pond near Great Seneca Highway and Key West Avenue in North Potomac.
Residents should avoid contact with affected waters, not fish in the area and keep pets out of the water MontgomeryCountyMD.gov/PFAS
Join in the race fun. This Weekend (April 11) @MCPS + @MCPSEF. For a great cause!

👀 - I have heard similar complaints about how Montgomery County interacts with the business community. Good to see the improvements that are happening in San Francisco, and how we might all learn from their lessons. 🤔
🌳 @GburgMD is very open for business. We want entrepreneurs and builders who have big ideas and want to make them real. If you’re trying to create something, grow something, or take a shot at your full potential… come here. We’re ready for you!

Last night we held a Public Hearing on @GburgMD FY26 budget. A few highlights:
🧾No property tax increases – again!! DYK - The City has only raised taxes once in 60 years. A streak I work hard not to break.
💡We’re investing in public safety, public works, parks, capital projects, and more - all to keep Gaithersburg a great place to live, work, and play.

As DJ Khaled says. Another one.
👀 Proud to have led and passed legislation in @GburgMD that enhances consumer protections. Our new law, passed unanimously and now in effect, requires landlords to provide prospective tenants with clear information about any fees associated with their lease, helping folks avoid bait-and-switch tactics like the ones described in the FTC Lawsuit below. Our legislation was supported by landlords, tenants, residents, and advocacy organizations. We all do better when transactions are clear and transparent. 👇🏼

✌🏼Two things. 1) Thankful for awesome @GburgMD Public Works folks out/about today plowing that snow away! 2) Somehow got the "TEMU" electric snow shovel. Would just blow snow up in my face, reverted to manual means (the horror). 🥶

Great to see our colleagues from Gaithersburg make the trip to American Legion Post 86, Rockville MD and have some of the famous lasagna @MVforRockville was making.
Because @Rockville411 and @GburgMD are like that ya’ll…

Honored to start a new tradition on City Council—challenge coins! These are a token of our appreciation, and a way for the Mayor & Council to say thank you to those who make our community better.
Councilmember Wu, and I were introduced to this tradition during our time in military service and it’s exciting to bring it to Gaithersburg.
Today, at our Veterans Day celebration, Mayor Ashman presented the first-ever challenge coin to our guest speaker. Here’s to many more moments of gratitude like this.
