According to a press release from Governor Hogan,
Foley is the current chair of the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee. She is a former journalist, who founded and served over 20 years as the president of Berger-Marks Foundation, a nonprofit that promoted young women as union leaders and social justice activists.
