Allison Eriksen

Allison Eriksen is a progressive Democrat running for Montgomery County Council in District 3. A Gaithersburg resident, she is a former international disaster preparedness and response expert for USAID. Eriksen aims to leverage her experience to ensure the county is ready for future crises, both natural and otherwise. Her campaign priorities include creating safer streets, supporting working families, building more housing, and protecting communities from discrimination. She was motivated to run for local office after seeing a lack of action at the national level to address critical program cuts. District 3 primarily encompasses Gaithersburg and Rockville.
