Schwartz is the third person to enter the race. Maricé Morales, a former state delegate, announced in early June that she was running for the seat, but has not formally filed to run.
Natali Fani-Gonzalez, the vice chair of the Montgomery County Planning Board, has filed to enter the race. District 4 includes Wheaton, Aspen Hill and Olney, among other areas.
Council Member Nancy Navarro, who has held the seat since 2009, can’t run for re-election because of term limits.
