Who Is Lelia True
Battlefield-tested leadership.
A lifetime of service.
A West Point graduate, she commanded 160 soldiers through Operation Desert Storm and brought every one of them home — earning the Bronze Star. She then built a 17-year corporate career at Comcast, where she managed $190M+ operations and was named one of Washington's most influential businesswomen. Most recently, she's been back in our community as a teacher and basketball coach at Winston Churchill High School — because she believes leaders show up where they're needed.

True Priorities
Fighting for what matters
in Montgomery County.
Economic Development & Resilience
Cut the red tape that strangles small businesses, streamline permitting and zoning, deploy competitive incentives to stop the talent and jobs drain to Virginia, and build a strategic plan that turns our unmatched concentration of federal institutions and research talent into business ecosystems that are rooted here.
Strong Education & AI Safety
Montgomery County's schools are among our greatest economic assets — and they're under real pressure. Lelia will fight to protect classroom quality, retain great teachers, and ensure every child in this county has access to an excellent education.
Fiscal Responsibility & Transparency
Transparent budgets and honest tradeoffs — because Montgomery County families deserve to know exactly where their money goes. An unwavering commitment to education, public safety, and the economic growth that generates the revenue our community depends on. That means cutting waste before cutting services, making priorities clear before decisions are made, and building a county that's fiscally sound today and financially strong for the next generation.
