Contenders for Prince George's County Executive vying to extricate the county from financial burdens
Prince George's County, Maryland – Aisha Braveboy, the current Prince George's County State's Attorney, is leading the race in the upcoming special election for County Executive, scheduled for March 4, 2025. Braveboy assumed office in a special election held in June 2022.
Braveboy's key platforms to address the county's issues, including the budget deficit, centre around economic development, crime reduction, and support for laid-off federal workers. She has also emphasised ongoing crime reduction efforts by appointing new leaders within the county police department to work collaboratively on public safety.
Other notable candidates in the 2025 special election include Calvin S. Hawkins, Jr., a current Prince George's County At-Large Councilmember serving his second term, and Jesse A. Peed (R), a lifelong resident of Prince George's County, currently the chair of the Prince George's County Republican Central Committee, and a former member of the U.S. Army. However, specific platforms and detailed information about these candidates were not readily available in the search results.
Former County Executive Angela Alsobrooks previously endorsed Calvin Hawkins in a special election but he was defeated; there is no current indication that Alsobrooks herself is a candidate in 2025 or that Hawkins is a leading contender in this special election.
In terms of the budget deficit, Braveboy's approach likely involves fostering economic growth and expanding commercial tax revenue, consistent with her stated goals of economic development and partnerships with local stakeholders. However, detailed fiscal plans or additional candidate platforms directly addressing the county's budget deficit were not found in the search results.
The Prince George's County 2025 Special Primary is set for Tuesday, March 4, 2025, with Early Voting starting on Feb. 26, 2025, and running through March 3, 2025. Voters can sign up to speak on the county's website, with each speaker allowed three minutes.
If you need information on other candidates or more specific budgetary measures, additional details may require direct local election resources beyond the current search results.
