My Vision for 2045 and Beyond

What Does “Running with 2045 in Mind” Mean? It means I’m not just running for office—I’m running for the future.

Too often, leadership is focused on the next quarter, the next budget cycle, or the next election. But our children, grandchildren, and neighbors deserve more than short-term fixes. They deserve a vision that looks ahead—to the year 2045 and beyond.

That’s why I’m inviting you to imagine what you want life to look like in 20 years. What kind of city do you want your children to grow up in? What kind of future do you want your grandchildren to inherit?

A future where everyone has what they need to thrive? Where strong schools, safe neighborhoods, and vibrant local businesses are the norm? Where leadership truly reflects and responds to the people it serves?

Running with 2045 in mind means we start making those things real—now. It means investing in people, addressing unmet needs, and building systems that are inclusive, sustainable, and future-ready.

Let’s stop patching holes and start building a foundation that lasts. Let’s stop managing the present in fear and start leading toward the future with courage.

We can create a Gaithersburg that grows stronger with every generation—but only if we do it together.
