I’m Tiffany Kelly—a mother, grandmother, and longtime public servant who’s spent her life turning lived experience into real change. For too long, Gaithersburg’s working families, immigrants, and longtime residents have been left out of the decisions that shape their lives. And now, with mass layoffs, instability in the federal government, and immigration enforcement tearing families apart, we need steady, courageous leadership more than ever.

I’ve led at the federal level, stood up for equity when others stayed quiet, and delivered results that put people first. I know how to navigate uncertainty—and how to fight for communities when systems fail them. I’m bringing that same urgency, compassion, and clear-eyed leadership to Gaithersburg City Hall—because this moment demands more than business as usual. It demands a mayor who shows up, listens deeply, and leads with the people at the center of every decision.
