Rabbi Yitzchak taught that “A ruler is not to be appointed unless the community is consulted.”
— Babylonian Talmud Berachot 55a

We need leaders who will represent all of us, and who are accountable to the whole community. That’s why we vote, and why we take seriously Rabbi Yitzchak’s teaching that community input is essential for choosing who will lead our County.

Local elections, especially the primaries, have far-reaching consequences.

Our State and County leaders decide how we spend our money, how we protect our community’s most vulnerable members, and whether our region’s actions will dismantle systemic oppression or reinforce the status quo. Every vote matters.

In the 2024 Primary Elections, there will be not only Presidential and Congressional candidates on the ballot, but also Board of Education candidates running for 3 Montgomery County Board of Education Districts.

Everyone in Montgomery County can vote for candidates in all Montgomery County Board Of Education districts, so we encourage you to click through the dropdown menu below to learn more about the candidates and to make sure you have everything you need to vote by May 14th!

If you have any questions about the resources on this page, email Devorah.
