I'm Steve Solomon and I'm running for Montgomery County Council – At Large. I am a lifelong resident of Montgomery County. My parents were immigrants who fled Europe in the 1940s. They came to Montgomery County in the 1960s and never left. Both spent their careers working for the federal government. My father at the FDA working in food safety and my mother at the VA fighting for benefits for injured military service members. I've lived and worked in Wheaton, Kemp Mill, Rockville, Silver Spring, Bethesda, and Olney.

 

I'm not a politician. I'm just an average middle class guy who wants to help the community he's been a part of his whole life. 

 

My career thus far has been in radio and podcasting. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a degree in Economics, I was able to follow my dream of working in radio. I spent 21 years as a producer and host in talk radio on shows in DC and nationally.

 

I've had various jobs in school and before radio: carpenter, ticket office worker, library, lawn mowing.

 

Over the last several years, I've gotten more involved in Montgomery County issues – volunteering for boards, committees, nonprofits, civic groups, and political campaigns.
