Sonia Garcia is running for Montgomery County Council, District 6 because residents deserve leadership that works for us, not against us.
Across Wheaton, Glenmont, Aspen Hill, Kemp Mill, Forest Glen, Layhill, Kensington Heights, and surrounding neighborhoods, too many families feel decisions are being made before their voices are heard. Growth is moving fast. Costs are rising. Policies are changing. And residents are often left reacting instead of participating.
Sonia believes that is backward.
A lifelong Montgomery County resident, a proud product of MCPS, scientist, and public servant, Sonia believes government should partner with residents, not sideline them. Leadership should listen before it votes, plan before it promises, and strengthen neighborhoods instead of destabilizing them.
She is running to bring a different approach to District 6:
- Neighborhood First Decision: Growth must be thoughtful, transparent, and accountable. Residents deserve meaningful input before zoning, development, and land-use decisions reshape their communities.
- Real Affordability, Not Just Density: Housing policy must focus on what families can actually afford- protecting existing homeowners and renters while expanding opportunity responsibly.
- Strong Schools & Safe Communities: Public safety and strong schools are foundational. Sonia will support first responders, address traffic and pedestrian safety, and ensure our schools have the resources they need before new development strains them further.
- Economic Stability for Working Families: Federal workers, small business owners, and working families are facing uncertainty and rising costs. County leadership should focus on economic resilience, not policies that increase pressure.
District 6 deserves leadership that stands with residents when decisions affect their homes, their taxes, their schools, and their safety.
This campaign is about restoring trust, strengthening transparency, and ensuring that government works for the people it serves- not against them.
If you believe District 6 deserves a stronger voice, join us.
Sonia is participating in Montgomery County’s public financing program, which matches eligible small donations from county residents with public funds. This helps amplify community voices and ensures our campaign remains accountable to the people we serve. Donations are per person, not per household. Spouses and anyone 16+ can each donate separately and count as individual donors.
Only donations from Montgomery County residents between $5 and $150 are eligible for matching funds under the public financing program. Contributions up to $500 are accepted.
