Not a firearms issue, but this proposed change to the Montgomery County Charter is aimed at more equitable representation.
Nine Districts for MoCo is asking MoCo voters to sign a petition (online) to put a proposed Charter amendment on the November ballot.

The current County Council is comprised of five district representatives and four at-large representatives.
Today 7 of 9 Council members live south and east of North Bethesda. The result? County legislative decisions are made by representatives from a small area called the “down county crescent” that largely includes Silver Spring and Takoma Park.
That means decisions about your public services, transportation, housing, development, and taxes are made by Council members from an area with only 30% of county population!
Increasing the number of Council districts to nine, and abolishing the at large seats, will guarantee smaller districts, more responsive representation, and an avenue for your voice to be heard.
