Prince George’s County residents are getting ballots in the mail for a March 4 special primary election. Because the county is overwhelmingly Democratic, that primary election will almost certainly determine who will be our next county executive.
Senator Angela Alsobrooks stepped down as county executive Dec. 2, 2024, following her election to the U.S. Senate in November.
Streetcar Suburbs and The Bowie Sun reached out to all the candidates who are competing to replace Alsobrooks.
We asked each candidate to tell us about their accomplishments, plans, thoughts on spending, and endorsements. Their responses are linked below: Take a look.

Republican candidates
George McDermott did not submit responses to our questions by our deadline.
