County Councilmember Marilyn Balcombe (D) to seek re-election in 2026
Montgomery County Councilmember Marilyn Balcombe will seek re-election to her seat in 2026, she confirmed on Friday.
Balcombe — a Democrat — represents District 2, which covers the northwestern part of the county, including Germantown and Poolesville. She is currently serving her first four-year term.
In an interview Friday, Balcombe told Bethesda Today she “always assumed” she would seek a second term on the council.
“The whole reason I ran in the first place is because I felt that the upcounty just doesn’t get the same level of resources as downcounty,” Balcombe, a Germantown resident, said.
