JESSICA’S VISION
Everyone who lives in Frederick County deserves the opportunity to meet their full potential and thrive. From students to seniors, small-business owners to service workers, we know there are significant disparities in quality-of-life outcomes across our county. I am a proven, effective leader who will lead through listening, and build on the progress we’ve made over the past eight years. It is time for transformational leadership. As County Executive, I won’t back down from the tough issues that matter for our families.
“WHAT JESSICA DID BEHIND THE SCENES IS UNBELIEVABLE. She got Democratic and Republican council members, environmentalists and builders, all these competing interests together to legally protect countless acres of forest while targeting growth in ways that made sense. SHE IS AN OUTSTANDING LEADER.”
—Harry George, 2017 Forest Resource Ordinance Work Group; Frederick County Environmental Advocate; Past Executive Committee Member, Sierra Club Catoctin Group
