“It is an honor to be re-elected to serve the citizens of Montgomery County,” Pitts said, “As the state representative for District 67, I will continue to press for the issues that matter most to my constituents: education, jobs, investment in infrastructure, and reducing the tax and regulatory burden on business while protecting the consumer.
