Where do 2023 Gaithersburg Council Candidates Stand on Biking & Transportation?

The City of Gaithersburg will conduct an election this fall for three at-large city council members, who will serve four-year terms.

The city will use a hybrid process. Voters may request a ballot to mail in or deposit in a drop-box, or they may vote in-person, early on October 29 or on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7. Visit www.gaithersburgmd.gov/government/elections for Gaithersburg election information.

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association would like to help Gaithersburg voters make informed choices. We asked candidates to respond to a questionnaire developed with the assistance of Gaithersburg residents. We’re posting candidate responses below, verbatim and unedited, along with links to candidate Web sites.

We hope the questionnaire responses are useful in informing your voting.
