“If elected, Shanika Whitehurst might be the first openly LGBTQ+ member of the Gaithersburg City Council, and one of a handful of out legislators in Montgomery County. No doubt that she’d bring in a perspective we don’t hear from enough here, but that’s only one reason we think she deserves your vote.”
