This week of Juneteenth, we celebrate Rockville Mayor Monique Ashton as our #MD08 Local Hero for her energetic service, creative devotion to federal workers in MoCo hit by mass DOGE firings, and her decision to uplift the history of African-American educators in Rockville.

On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, there were still enslaved people in our country who finally received word they were free. Let us remember our history & continue to build a country where freedom rings for all. #Juneteenth #RiseTogether
