CASA in Action, a 501(c)(4) organization advocating for Latino and immigrant communities in the Mid-Atlantic area, has endorsed Omodamola Williams for Gaithersburg City Council, it announced yesterday. "Omodamola Williams, a proud black man, a father, an organizer, & a renter who has experienced the consequences of failed policies -- Omodamola has made strides in fair housing for ALL Gaithersburg residents!" the organization said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Williams is a community organizer for The Montgomery County Racial Equity Network (MORE). He previously served as president of Young People for Progress (YPP). He is advocating for the City of Gaithersburg to adopt rent stabilization, which is opposed by the current mayor, Jud Ashman. Williams also supports implementation of bike lanes, stronger housing code enforcement, better access to playgrounds, speed bumps and police transparency.
Williams will hold a meet-and-greet event this Saturday, October 21 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, at the Pavilion near City Hall. Early voting for registered voters in the City of Gaithersburg begins October 29, 2023. Election Day is November 7.
