Young Dem Spotlight
In honor of Pride Month, we’d like to spotlight County Commissioner candidate and MCYD Outreach Coordinator T.C. McCourt!
T.C. is a passionate public servant running to expand Morris County’s sustainable energy initiative, create an equitable and fair environment for all of the county’s diverse residents, and lay the foundation so that Morris County can support the jobs of the future.
He currently lives in Dover with his husband Bryan.
If elected, T.C. would become Morris County’s first openly gay Commissioner.
