Gaithersburg, MD – Today, the Mayor of Gaithersburg and four members of the City Council enthusiastically announced their support for Congressman David Trone’s reelection campaign. The members include Mayor Jud Ashman, Council Vice President Neil Harris, Councilmember Jim McNulty, Councilmember Rob Wu, and Councilmember Yamil Hernandez.
“Working with David Trone in Congress has shown me what true partnership looks like,” said Mayor Jud Ashman. “David always answers whenever our community calls, listens to our concerns, and fights for the right things—protecting all the families, including immigrants, who make Gaithersburg vibrant and diverse. He has secured millions of dollars in federal investments, helping make our neighborhoods safer, more connected, and stronger for everyone. He doesn’t just talk about supporting families, he shows up and takes action. As Mayor, I’m supporting David Trone because of the work he’s done for our community, and I hope you will too.”
“As a Member of Congress, David Trone was incredibly productive,” said Council Vice President Neil Harris. “He was constantly bringing federal opportunities to our city. His advocacy was tireless, especially in dealing with the opioid crisis. He brings the same energy and intelligence to Washington as he used to build his business. I’m grateful for his service and proud to support David Trone’s return to Congress.”
“David Trone is one of the most effective legislators our District has ever had, securing important federal funding for a crucial link between Olde Towne and Lakeforest,” said Councilmember Jim McNulty. “David continues to show up for our diverse community, but more importantly, he knows how to bring people together to get things done. Now more than ever, we need David Trone in Congress.”
“Serving on Gaithersburg’s City Council, I’ve seen how much our diverse community is impacted by the decisions made in Washington, D.C.,” said Councilmember Rob Wu. “Whether it’s funding for needed projects, support for our residents most in need, or providing opportunities for every family, David Trone has shown up time and again for Gaithersburg—listening to local leaders about what’s needed on the ground and bringing back the investments that help us build a safer, healthier, stronger community. He’s also been a particularly steadfast voice in standing up for our communities of color, including the AAPI community—speaking out against hate and working to ensure our families and small businesses have the economic opportunities they need to succeed. I trust David Trone to be there for us and to make the right decisions each and every time for all of the residents of Gaithersburg. The City and Montgomery County are stronger with David Trone back in Congress, and this is exactly why I’m proud to endorse him.”
“As the son of immigrants and a small business owner, I know firsthand that opportunity and hard work can change the trajectory of a family and a community,” said Councilmember Yamil Hernandez. “David Trone understands that immigrants are part of the strength of Maryland’s 6th District, and he has consistently stood up for immigrant communities while supporting small businesses and expanding pathways to economic opportunity for everyone, so more Marylanders can succeed. I’m proud to endorse David Trone because he believes in the promise of our communities and works every day to help us thrive.”
David Trone served Maryland’s 6th District in Congress from 2019-2025. He is running for re-election in Congress to fight Trump and his MAGA agenda, protect our neighbors and our rights, and end the tariffs that are causing prices to keep going up for Maryland families.
