Today is Monday, July 18 and here are five things to know happening in Montgomery County this week. As we start the work week, here’s the 10 day weather forecast.
1. Primary Election: Tuesday, the polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the Maryland Gubernatorial Primary Election. Montgomery Community Media provided candidates in local races the opportunity to record a video statement, which may be found in our Primary Election Voters’ Guide to local county races. On Tuesday, MyMCM will be at polling places across the county to talk with voters. We want to learn what issues are the most important and what voters hope for the future of the county. Our Election 2022 Information and News page will have the interviews, news and information.
2. Latino Conservation Week: Montgomery Parks celebrates the ninth annual Latino Conservation Week with a series of events from July 16 to 24. MyMCM’s Michael Hernandez spoke with Serenella Linares and Denisse Guitar from the Audubon Naturalist Society about two events the society host in partnership with Montgomery Parks.
TY @mymcmedia for giving us the opportunity to talk about our #LatinoConservationWeek22 events. We’re at Long Branch Park today from 10-12pm. Join us Wednesday at 7 pm for our Cafecito con Abuela Facebook Live event. https://t.co/PBglKz6uqX pic.twitter.com/7IkCketmpr
