VIDEO: Leggett's Political Future

Despite pressure to reconsider, Montgomery's two-term county exec has not reversed his decision to step down in 2014.

Last year, Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett went on the record saying that he would not seek a third term in office.

In this fifth excerpt from a recent interview with Patch editors, Leggett (D) acknowledges that he has been “under a lot of pressure from people asking me to reconsider," but says he hasn't wavered from on his decision not to run, "as of yet."

Click here for Part 1 of the interview, in which Leggett discussed the ballot referendum on the Maryland "Dream Act," which would allow in-state tuition for certain illegal immigrants.

Part 4 covers Montgomery's projected population growth, and Leggett's efforts to steer that growth in the right direction.
