Before voting, know the Montgomery County Board of Education candidates and their LGBTQIA perspectives
To help voters make informed decisions, we sent the same set of questions related to inclusivity and support for LGBTQIA students to all candidates in early March 2026, with a follow-up reminder sent two weeks ago. Each candidate received identical questions and was given the same opportunity to respond.
We received responses from:
We appreciate their willingness to share their perspectives and priorities with the community. Their responses reflected a range of views, but all engaged directly with the questions posed regarding LGBTQIA students, families, staff, and inclusive school environments.
The remaining candidates were contacted multiple times but did not respond to our repeated requests for answers by the publication deadline.
