County residents are fed up and have grown weary with the current County leadership that has propagated the same failed policies and played musical chairs with the same people for 12 years with no real progress. County residents are seeing the worsening violent crime, decline in school performance, increasing debt to finance the county budget, and moribund business and job growth.
I am running for County Executive to change the trajectory of the County.
By Authority Reardon Sullivan for MoCo – Victoria Birkett, Treasurer
Our team had a great time at both the Kensington and Gaithersburg parades. Great to get out and meet so many normal, non-political people and hearing their concerns.
It was universally agreed that the voters see the stark contrast between Marc Elrich’s policies of defunding the police, deteriorating education and losing jobs, versus my policies of fully funding the police, keeping SROs in our schools and turning Montgomery County into a business-friendly destination.
I need your help to make significant changes in the County. We need new leadership, starting with the County Executive and County Council. I ask for your support.

Do you really want another four years of Marc Elrich?
I am committed to bringing common sense, cooperation, and compromise back to our local government so we can tackle the County’s most pressing issues.
We must stop disrespecting the police and allow them to do their jobs. We must provide for SROs in our schools. We must allow our teachers to excel in education, instead of pushing radical social ideas. We must bring business back to the County. We must improve transportation including 270 and the American Legion bridge.
We must get away from identity politics and archaic views based on skin color, party affiliation and gender, and get our County back using common sense for the common good.
Yesterday morning, the Emmy-award-winning anchor, MARISSA MITCHELL of Fox News, interviewed me about my campaign for County Executive. She was kind enough to let me discuss how can I win in a County that is so heavily Democratic.
I reminded her that the Democrat voters in Montgomery County are heavily divided. 60% of the voters in the Democrat primary did NOT vote for Marc Elrich. 40% of the voters in the Democrat primary supported David Blair, whose positions are similar to mine. 20% of the voters voted for Hans Riemer, and I agree with Hans Riemer on several issues including bringing 5G to the County and fixing the American Legion bridge. Even David Blair stated the Democrat party is divided and that the voting indicates the citizens in the County are looking for more moderate leadership.
I also reminded Marissa that the independent voters have not yet been heard from, and they comprise 25% of the electorate. Independents tend to break ~70% conservative, if given a viable option.
There is a very real anti-Elrich sentiment in the County that is echoed by many small business owners, restaurant owners, parents that had their children’s education stymied, and many people that thought his mandates were an overreach.
She also allowed me to discuss several key points of my campaign including public safety, education, and the local economy.
We closed the segment talking about how Montgomery County needs to get away from identity politics and not worry if someone is black, white, male, female, Republican or Democrat. We need to elect people that will do the best job for the County.

Marc Elrich’s economic policies are not working
Marc Elrich’s economic policies are not working. Council Member Tom Hucker knows it, business owners know it, and anyone that drives to Northern Virginia knows it.
I believe that Montgomery County must do a better job at bringing new businesses to the County and supporting small business. I need your support to make Montgomery County more business friendly.

We can win against the divided Democrat party

Voters now have a clear choice for County Executive
Congratulations to Marc Elrich on his victory in the Democratic primary. I look forward to discussing public safety, education, the local economy and giving the voters a clear choice for County Executive in November.

We need to get away from identity politics, and archaic views based on skin color, party affiliation and get back to our number one status as a County.

Reardon Sullivan on WMAL - August 16, 2022
Allow me to share my latest interview with Larry O’Connor where I discuss how I will win in November.
It looks like Marc Elrich will continue to be the Democrat nominee for County Executive after the recount.
When you add the 60% of the Democrat voters that did NOT vote for Marc Elrich, and the Independent and Republican voters that are not happy with arbitrary lockdowns, mandates, out-of-control spending, disrespect for the police and lack of job growth, my campaign will be victorious in November.
During this campaign, the voters will see a stark contrast between Marc Elrich’s policies of defunding the police, deteriorating education and losing jobs, versus my policies of fully funding the police, keeping SROs in our schools and turning Montgomery County into a business-friendly destination.
I need your help to make significant changes in the County. We need new leadership, starting with the County Executive and County Council. I ask for your support.

Proud to be the Republican nominee for County Executive in Montgomery County
Very proud to be the Republican nominee for County Executive in Montgomery County.
Since the election, I have attended many events and visited the homes of many voters to hear their concerns about the trajectory of the County.
It is clear that the voters are concerned about the basic kitchen table issues of public safety, keeping SROs in schools, improving education in our schools, transportation, and bringing jobs to Montgomery County.
Many voters were not aware of the failure of the County Executive and County Council and how they are reframing their lack of results using their control of the local media. The current leadership is out of touch with the voters.
I need your help if we are going to make any real changes in the County, we need new leadership, starting with the County Executive and County Council. I ask for your support … your time, your talent and your treasure to help me make a difference in the County.

Rock n' Roll Fundraiser!!!
Hey Everyone,
We are getting the band back together for a unique campaign fundraiser on June 29th from 6pm to 8:30pm at That's Amore - 15201 Shady Grove Rd, Rockville, Md. 20850.
Please join us for a fun evening of music in support of our campaign to be the next County Executive in Montgomery County.
Space is limited so pre-registration is required. To purchase tickets or sponsorships please visit:
I am proud to announce that I have been endorsed by the Montgomery County Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 35 in the primary election.
Public safety is a center point of my campaign. We all know that crime is on the rise in the County. In 2020, Hans Reimer introduced legislation to take SROs out of schools. In the recent County budget, County Executive Marc Elrich and the County Council acted on their promise to “defund” the police removing almost $3 million and 63 FTEs from the budget, saying that it made the police “more efficient.”
Please ….
The time for change and new leadership is now. We need leaders that can bring common sense back to our local government. As your County Executive, I promise to do what I can to fully fund the police, have SROs in our public schools and give the men and women of law enforcement the respect they deserve.
Each year, Marc Elrich swept $130 million dollars from Pepco and the county energy tax into the general fund. The energy tax was put in place under the guise of a "climate emergency" Instead of raising taxes, they need to reduce spending on their special projects while maintaining essential services
The Montgomery County operating budget is not sustainable. in FY 22, servicing our debt costs more than education, transportation or public safety. We spend 20% of every dollar raised to pay off past expenses. See: https://spending.data.montgomerycountymd.gov/#!/year/2022/explore/0-barChart/service
In 2020, at-large County council candidate Will Jawando and County executive candidate Hans Riemer wanted to remove the police SRO’s from schools, even though there were 800 reported incidents the prior year. They ignored the pleas from school principals who felt SRO's are beneficial. Now we have increased incidents in schools. Thanks Will and Hans…
This election, remember that Will Jawando and County executive candidate Hans Riemer wanted to remove the police SRO’s from schools and place your children at risk.
I am very proud to announce that I have been endorsed by the GCAAR in the race for County Executive.
