@NancyFloreen on if we should widen 270: “I compliment [@GovLarryHogan] for taking this on…there are creative solutions [like] electronic lanes…the bigger problem is we aren’t looking at Sam Eig highway…one of my proposals is to create a regional transportation authority.”

”One of the flaws in the system now is the analysis stops in Gaithersburg … I’m suggesting we have a county transit that goes up to Frederick … we have to be creative with our solutions.” –@NancyFloreen #MoCoVotes #MontgomeryCountyMD

@NancyFloreen on @MontgomeryCoMD’s domestic violence issues: “One of the biggest things that we can do is create an environment of good job training…if you have to deal with children in a contained environment that takes a toll…helping families in stress is key.”

“I want great jobs here so people don’t have to go to the district.” – @NancyFloreen #MoCoVotes #MontgomeryCountyMD

@NancyFloreen on her @washingtonpost endorsement: “The post weighs in periodically on issues, but we don’t have a local @MontgomeryCoMD paper anymore.”
That’s something Florence wants to invest in. #MoCoVotes #MontgomeryCountyMD
