Meet:
Steve Solomon
At Large
Montgomery County Council At Large
Steve is running because he thinks Montgomery County needs more practical, solutions-focused leadership. Too often, we see problems talked about but not addressed. He wants to focus on real outcomes—improving services, growing the economy, and making sure taxpayer dollars are used wisely. Steve connected with Forward because he is tired of partisan politics in this country, especially at the extremes of both parties. He is focused on improving the lives of everyday residents of Montgomery County: "They want to see real results from their elected officials."
