Charles W. Gilchrist
Charles W. Gilchrist received degrees from Williams College magna cum laude in 1958 and Harvard Law School in 1961 and was admitted into the Maryland Bar in 1962. He was active in many civic and political organizations, including the D.C. Bar Association and the Democratic Central Committee, and served as a Maryland state senator. In 1978 he was elected as County Executive after the retirement of James P. Gleason.〔(Former County Executive Charles W. Gilchrist (1936 – 1999) ). (Maryland State Archives ).〕 He died on June 24, 1999 of pancreatic cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.〔Claudia Levy. The Washington Post. Washington, D.C.: Jun 26, 1999. pg. B.01〕
== Tenure as Montgomery County Executive ==
Gilchrist took office in 1978 after defeating his Republican opponent, Richmond M. Keeney with a margin of more than 3 to 2 and thus became the first Democrat to be elected county executive in Montgomery.〔Gilchrist Wins Executive Race In Montgomery. By Janis Johnson and Bart Barnes Washington Post Staff Writer. The Washington Post; Nov 8, 1978; pg. A26〕
Gilchrist's administration was marked by housing problems and a sewer moratorium, pressure to control spending, a reorganization of County government to make it more centralized, and controversies over appointments. He was able to hold property tax raises to the level of or below inflation, and survive questions over his appointments, some of which led to the "Liquorgate" scandal, which he also survived. He was able to expand social services while holding down the size of government, and oversaw the opening of the Ride-On bus system, the Laytonsville landfill, and the incinerator at Dickerson, which had been planned during the Gleason administration.
In 1984 he announced his retirement after the 1986 election to devote his life to the Episcopal priesthood.〔Transition for Charles Gilchrist. (1986, November 22). The Washington Post, A22.
