MCGEO’s 2026 endorsements were made with one priority in mind: the needs, concerns, and lived experiences of our members.

After extensive discussion and deliberation, our endorsement committee made the decision not to endorse in the Montgomery County Executive race this cycle — a rare step for us that reflects the seriousness of the moment and the importance of accountability, workplace respect, and strong labor-management relations. Our endorsements are never just given away easily; candidates must earn them.
