It's worth repeating. Christian Benford for Frederick is the right choice for County Council District 3!

I am proud to have earned the endorsement of City Council President César Díaz. I admire his drive to stand by our neighbors, whether that is advocating for strengthened community safety or championing initiatives for working people. He understands that investments in residents are investments in all of us.

On the County Council, I will stand alongside President Díaz so we can deliver for our neighbors along the Golden Mile corridor to bring long-promised projects such as the Westside Regional Park and Library to life, support and uplift our immigrant neighbors, expand transit service to make it more convenient and reliable, and invest in childcare so families have greater access and lower costs.

I am proud to endorse Christian Benford for Frederick County Council District 3. Christian has been showing up for this district for years.

He has been a tireless advocate for those who don't have a voice. Whether it’s at City or County council meetings, a school board meeting or testifying in Annapolis, he is not afraid to tell those in power what the residents of Frederick need and demand from their government.

More than just advocating for change, Christian gets out in the community to make change happen. Making sure people know their constitutional rights, distributing or growing food, helping track immigration enforcement abuse, or organizing events for others to have a platform to let their voices be heard. Christian doesn’t shy away from hard work when people need help.

He did all this while making sure he learned how governments can work for the people, not just for those with influence and money. Putting himself through a Master of Public Administration, working for lawmakers at the county and state levels, Christian has first hand knowledge on what it takes to make sure the government puts people first.

Frederick County District 3 deserves a council member who puts community first and backs it up with action. Christian Benford does both and that is why I endorse him for Frederick County Council to represent District 3.

Can't wait for the market to open for the season and even more excited about the new location. The market is such a valuable resource for the community, it would have been a huge loss if they had to move away from the west side of town.

Last night the City Values Act passed the City Council 7-0. This addition to the Frederick City code makes a statement. It lets all residents know that they can feel safe in our facilities and can participate in the services we provide. It lets everyone know that if you live in Frederick, we value you and you are part of what makes our city great.

I want to thank all the people who came out last night in support of the Act, and to my fellow council members for standing with me to push for this important statement.

Gracias!

Pay attention to how Christian addresses this issue. He defends himself against these insulting comments made about him, but never attacks those making the comments.

Christian talks about one thing, his community in District 3. What his community needs and how he wants to help his community.

Christian also walks the walk. He doesn't just talk. He puts the work in. He doesn't just show up for photo ops. He helps distribute food to those who need it. He helps people learn about their civil rights. He advocates, loudly, for those who don't have a voice. Not sure if he can bake cupcakes, but he helps plant a garden to grow food for those less fortunate.

Not bad for a transplant.

Great endorsements for Christian Benford for Frederick and Casey Day for Frederick Board of Education. The teachers recognized Casey as one of their own who would be a voice for educators and students on the Board of Education. In Christian they saw the drive and determination to do what's best for the residents of County District 3. Listen to the teachers!

I've been asked what is the most important thing for elected leaders to do. My immediate answer is always "listen".

Christian knows that. That's why he's out there knocking on doors till his legs are about to give out, and still calling it a great day canvasing.

He's not just dropping literature at a door. He's engaging, understanding and learning what the community needs. You can't do that unless you are out there actually talking to the people you want to represent.
