Less than 24 hours after polls closed on Election Day, Democrat Will Jawando announced a transition team as he is the presumed winner in the race for Montgomery County Executive.
“Make no mistake, this team is rooted in Montgomery County. It looks like Montgomery County intentionally and it’s going to work for Montgomery County,” Jawando said Wednesday at the historic Grey Courthouse in Rockville, where he says the full county executive staff will be relocating.
The eight-member team includes:
- Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House Press Secretary
- Yaminah Leggett-Wells, Alliance Management senior director, Amgen
- Kathleen Matthews, former executive vice president, Marriott International
- Kristin Mink, county councilmember
- Nancy Navarro, former county councilmember and former member of the county Board of Education
- Jeffrey Slavin, mayor emeritus, Town of Somerset (Slavin is the president of MCM’s Board of Directors)
- Rev. Tim Warner, pastor, Emory Grove United Methodist Church
- Shalanda Young, former director, White House Office of Management and Budget
