MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD– Today, the District 14 Team announced that State Senator Craig J. Zucker, Delegate Anne Kaiser, and Delegate Bernice Mireku-North are filing for reelection to continue to represent and deliver for Eastern, Middle, and Northern Montgomery County in the state legislature. The fourth member of the team, Delegate Pamela “Pam” Queen, is not seeking reelection but is remaining in office as a vital member of the delegation until her term ends in January of 2027.

​

“I congratulate Delegate Pam Queen on her successful legislative career and appreciate her service to District 14 and the State of Maryland,” said Former County Executive Isiah “Ike” Leggett. “Her team: Senator Zucker, Delegate Kaiser, and Delegate Mireku-North have my continued enthusiastic support for reelection.
