Frederick, MD – As David Trone’s campaign for re-election to Congress continues to build momentum, with key elected leaders from across the district rallying behind him, two more Frederick County leaders, Council President Brad Young and At-Large Councilmember Renee Knapp, today announced their endorsements of Trone.
Young and Knapp join a growing list of leaders and organizations supporting Trone’s campaign, including Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater, IBEW Locals 24, 26, 307, and 1200, SMART International, and SMART Local 100, announced last week.
“I’ve worked with David Trone for many years, and what stands out is that his commitment to Frederick County has never wavered,” said Council President Brad Young. “While he was in office and since leaving, David has continued to invest his time and resources in the safety, economic security, and future of working families. While others drift toward Washington politics, David stays grounded in the real lives of the people we serve. He’s always fought for progress, not excuses, and I’m proud to call him a friend.”
“David Trone has always fought for every family and child who calls our district home,” said At-Large Councilmember Renee Knapp. “He understands the real challenges working families in Frederick County face every day with accessing affordable childcare and rising prices for food and housing. He listens, he shows up, and he delivers real results that expand opportunity and make life better for our communities. We need a champion like David who puts people first and never stops working for us.”
“Team Trone is excited to have incredible leaders like Brad and Renee joining us in our fight to stand up to Donald Trump and protect our communities from the MAGA agenda,” said Congressman David Trone. “The people of Frederick County know that when we have strong partnerships between our local, state, and federal leaders, our communities win. That’s exactly what we did in the House, and what we’ll continue to do when we go back to Washington.”
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, bring down skyrocketing healthcare costs, and end the tariffs that are causing prices to keep going up for Maryland families.
