“At a time when our fundamental rights and democracy itself are on the line, voters of Montgomery county chose a candidate who will fight to protect democratic principles and values,” said Makhija in a press release after the election results were announced. “I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the voters’ faith in our vision for a proactive approach to protecting our voting rights, keeping guns off our streets, and working to ensure that Montgomery county remains a great place to live and raise a family for all,” he added.
As commissioner, Makhija will oversee a $1 billion budget and 3,000 employees including elections, courts, district attorney’s office, public health departments, and public infrastructure.
