Let's Move Montgomery County Forward - Together
We are in a difficult time right now. Our nation is in a turmoil. Right here in Montgomery County, families are feeling the consequences of reckless policies and mass firings. Neighbors are losing their jobs, parents are wondering how they’ll keep their homes, and our students are facing uncertainty because funding for some of the most critical programs has come under attack. The stability that so many of us worked for is being shaken by decisions made in DC but felt deeply in our homes and neighborhoods. I know what it means to face uncertainty and push forward anyway; but I have also seen what happens when people come together to create change. This campaign is about protecting the future of Montgomery County. It’s about ensuring that no one is left behind, that no child’s education is sacrificed, and that hardworking people don’t have the rug pulled out from under them. Montgomery County is strong, and we don’t turn away when times get tough. We step up. We build. We lead change for a brighter future. That is the leadership I will bring to the County Council — leadership that listens, leadership that acts, and leadership that never forgets who we are fighting for. Please join me! ~Fatmata Barrie~
Meet Fatmata Barrie
Leading Change with Purpose and Vision for a Better Tomorrow.
Montgomery County is a place of opportunity, diversity, and innovation — but too many residents are struggling with the cost of living, access to quality education, and a government that often feels out of touch. I’m Fatmata Barrie, and I’m running for Montgomery County Council At-Large to ensure that everyone — regardless of who they are or where they come from — has the resources and opportunities to thrive.
Montgomery County is where I’ve made my home for the last 22 years; where I've built my career, my small business, and my community. Like so many families here, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges of balancing work, education, and family, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping others navigate those same challenges.
As an attorney and small business owner, I have worked to protect families, support entrepreneurs, and advocate for policies that make life better for everyday people. I believe that leadership isn’t just about making promises — it’s about delivering real results that improve people’s lives.
This campaign is about bringing people together — not dividing us. Montgomery County is stronger when we focus on solutions that work for everyone, whether you’ve lived here for generations or just arrived. I believe in leading with integrity, listening to the people, and making government work for all of us.
Together, we can build a brighter future for Montgomery County — one where everyone has a fair shot at success, security, and a place to call home. I hope to earn your support, and I look forward to working with you to make this vision a reality.
Let’s move Montgomery County forward —together.
