Letter: Leventhal is the most responsive politician
These past four years, I have learned one constant about Montgomery County government: If I write or call Council Member George Leventhal with a question or request, I can expect a prompt and satisfying answer. George is the most responsive elected official I have encountered locally bar none.
But there's more to George than just responsiveness.
George is a true progressive leader. Like other candidates, he is concerned with the pace of development, but beyond that one issue, he has crafted strong county policy on affordable housing, education, energy, immigrants, transportation, and other critical local issues. George was instrumental in obtaining Washington Adventist Hospital's commitment to create a new facility in the Long Branch area, and he has led efforts to bring healthcare services to underserved populations county-wide.
George Leventhal understands what counts for Takoma Park, Silver Spring, and the county as a whole. We need him representing us on the county council. Please join me in voting George the second term he richly deserves.
