RW: The biggest issue in Montgomery County will always be mobility and growth. We are a very conservative county and people want to move here with their families. With people comes more homes and traffic.

RW: I will do my best to find ways to reduce spending as commissioner. At this time, I'm not privy to all of the budget information.

MM: The well-being of the citizens of Montgomery County should be the top priority of the commissioner’s court. This includes taking science-based measures to protect the community from the spread of COVID, protecting small businesses and employees from ruinous financial crisis situations, and preventing homeowners and renters from losing their homes.

MM: We should be prioritizing spending while putting a hold on unnecessary purchases. A temporary hold on some capital spending that can wait, like road expansions in anticipation of future expected growth, new vehicle purchases for a year where maintenance allows us to keep current vehicles performing adequately, and freezing county employee salaries until the emergency subsides are ways to conserve resources for high priority expenses. I would also favor the commissioners themselves taking a pay cut.
