Colin Kaepernick will be a special guest at an upcoming fundraising event for Montgomery County Executive candidate Will Jawando, set to take place at Fork & Kitchen, an upcoming Rockville restaurant aiming to officially open by the end of the year. The event, scheduled for December 9 from 6pm to 9pm, highlights Jawando’s continued push to engage supporters as he shifts his full focus toward the county executive race.

The appearance marks Kaepernick’s second visit to Montgomery County this year. Earlier in 2025, the former NFL quarterback and nationally-known advocate for social justice addressed Montgomery County Public Schools leaders at the superintendent’s Administrative & Supervisory meeting. His message then centered on “challenging systems and championing justice,” themes consistent with his community and advocacy work since leaving the NFL.
