Scott Goldberg is a candidate for Montgomery County Council At-Large.

From his website (www.votescott.org):
“At the age of 24 with only a laptop and a coffee table, Scott started a residential property management company. Through innovation and hard work, the company employs 14 people and has offices in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. While growing this venture, he went to the University of Maryland School of Law at night, commuting from Montgomery County to Baltimore two to four times per week. In 2013 he was admitted to practice law and represents tenants pro bono in court with Maryland Legal Aid.”

Below are his answers to our important questions:
