Thanks for the endorsement, Wendy! I have known Courtney for nearly 20 years with the majority of those years in her role as a public servant. Courtney evaluates community problems from an analytical perspective, using data and facts to develop her positions. Courtney is an excellent listener and willing to work with others to co-create an innovative solution that solves issues in her community. As a member of the Board of Education, she listened to my unique comprehensive shared use solution that proposed an elementary school on the north side of Montgomery Road. Several public servants ignored my request for a meeting and Courtney heard my plan as well shared insights which made the soluti
It’s an unbelievable experience to be here MarchForOurLives. Hundreds of thousands of people and you could hear a pin drop when student survivors are speaking. Proud to be with Howard Countians at March For Our Lives. #stronger9B #MFOLDC #StopGunViolence And, thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen for you support of stronger gun safety laws, and for hosting so many of us for breakfast this morning before the March for our Lives. We can do this. #GunViolence #HoCoMD #9B #MDPolitics #Stronger9B #HowardCounty #WatsonHester #StandUp
Thanks to everyone who joined me last night for the 6th Annual Wine, Women & Watson! Thanks for uniting with me and other local women candidates during Women's History Month for a great evening of wine from The Wine Bin, lite fare from Tersiguel’s, and good conversation as we discussed the importance of closing the gender gap in politics and how it shapes the future of Howard County. Wine, Women & Watson is one of the most popular events I host each year, and one of my favorites. The energy and synergy among this large group of women was palpable, and exciting! As we near the end of Women's History Month, I'm reminded by what Sally Yates said on March 8, International Women's Day

Nice to have young people involved in door knocking this weekend - this generation is engaged. We ran across a very well informed college freshman who asked me some very good questions about my race and the differences between me and my opponent. He was a government major at UMCP and very interested in education, funding sources, and the environment. #HoCoMD #CourtneyWatson #Stronger9B #NextGeneration
We had a number of wonderful house parties this weekend, with bipartisan audiences. We all care about the same things - and working together to solve local challenges is rewarding and productive. Thank you to our hosts throughout the weekend! #Stronger9B #NewYearNewNine #WatsonHester #Women #newyearnewnine #MDPolitics #HoCoMD #9B #WatsonHester #CourtneyWatson #HowardCounty #HouseParty #Stronger9B

What a wonderful day to be with Elkridge community again and see old friends who advocated over the years with me for the new Elkridge Library. I’m especially grateful for the new Senior Center which replaces a 1500 square foot room that was quite insufficient. It takes years to get these kinds of projects in the budget pipeline, designed, and funded. Congratulations to Phil Lord Library Manager for opening the original library 25 years ago and this one today. #Elkridge #CourtneyWatson #Stronger9B #9B
Thank you for your endorsement Wendy J. Royalty! "As a woman who has spent my career advocating for women's rights, it is my pleasure to endorse Courtney on International Women's Day. I've never met someone who works harder than Courtney. She's a champion for all, and a special advocate for women. Before we became good friends I admired her work on the Howard County School Board and on the County Council. As a longtime women's advocate in Annapolis I can say without hesitation that Courtney's ideas, work ethic, and commitment to community will make her a great addition to the Maryland House of Delegates, serving District 9B." - Wendy Royalty, M.S.W., Former VP, Planned Parenthood of MD and F
Happy #InternationalWomensDay 2018! I’m grateful to the many incredible women who have paved the way for so many making a difference today, around the world and right here in Howard County. I have fought my entire professional career for the rights of women and I’m proud to continue to stand beside women in our community working tirelessly for change. #iwd2018 #Women #HoCoMD #9B #Stronger9B #HowardCounty #CourtneyWatson #WomensRights
Not taking anything for granted, fantastic turnout for Ellicott City & Western Howard Democratic Club ‘s second forum. Every candidate for governor mentioned Howard County’s education budget news. #Stronger9B #HowardCounty
Another Silas Craft Collegians fundraiser at Hunan Manor Restaurant last night raised funds for Howard Community College Silas Craft scholarship program. Hunan Manor has generously donated their delicious food and wonderful venue for 19 years in a row.
Nothing like knocking on doors with Howard County High School students to start the week. So proud of our students who are determined to change the world! #Stronger9B
Thank you to all the dogs who brought their humans to the puppy party today! We had 8 week old and 17 week old puppies and dozens of beautiful and fun dogs who are puppies at heart. We had a paw-sitively fur-bulous good time at Club Pooche ! If you don't know about Club Pooche - check it out. They have the best set up for doggie daycare and boarding, too. Many thanks to the Centennial High School Young Dems for volunteering to help today - we needed all ten of them! #Petsof9B #Stronger9B
