CERG PAC 2.0 recognizes the broad challenges facing Black residents, yet focuses its advocacy on three pillars—Housing, Jobs, and Business Ownership—where targeted action drives the greatest economic impact. Where we are not the primary voice, we support and partner with the organizations that are. Our focused approach is not a limitation, but the foundation of our effectiveness — and genuine effectiveness, grounded in principled commitment to our core pillars, is what our community deserves.
CERG PAC was founded on the belief that political representation matters—that our voices must be present and powerful at every decision-making table. As we evolved, we recognized that representation alone, while essential, is not enough. Our community also needs a focused economic strategy that delivers tangible results.
CERG PAC 2.0 is a political action committee working to advance economic growth and opportunity in Montgomery County. We back policies and candidates that expand access to capital, increase homeownership, and create pathways to quality jobs – with a clear focus on strengthening Black communities and businesses.
We measure success by outcomes: more Black-owned businesses scaling, more families building wealth, and more residents accessing jobs that support long-term stability.
