Acevero, Renne trade accusations, and at least some blows, at voting center scuffle

The head of a Montgomery County government employees union and a two-term delegate from the county traded blows during a scuffle Thursday evening outside an early voting center, and now they are trading accusations over the incident.

Gino Renne, the president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1994, the Montgomery County Government Employees Organization, has filed a second-degree assault complaint in Montgomery County District Court against Del. Gabriel Acevero (D-Montgomery) over the confrontation at Gaithersburg’s Bohrer Park.

Acevero, meanwhile, says he is the one who was assaulted by Renne “and I had to defend myself.”

It’s not the first beef between the two men — or the first time their versions of the same incident have differed. In 2020, Renne fired Acevero from his job as a field representative with the MCGEO.
