Braveboy Responses Prince George’s County Executive Voter Guide

Posted on: January 1, 2025

Age: 50

Residence: Upper Marlboro

What have you accomplished for your community that makes you most proud, as a public servant, leader, or advocate?

I’m proud of earlier service, and most proud of delivering historic crime reduction for county residents in homicides, carjacking, and intimate partner violence, and for having positioned the office for success after me by launching three results-oriented units — The Narcotics Intelligence, Firearms, and Digital Evidence units.

What do you most hope to accomplish during your first term?

  • I will not raise taxes.
  • My focus will be strengthening our finances, expanding our commercial tax base, and supporting local businesses and keeping county residents. 
  • I will prioritize county services with a government that is available and responsive, a top-notch school system, well-maintained streets, a focus on the needs of seniors, and a permitting system that works.
  • Realizing development around our Metro stations will attract first-time homebuyer professionals and families.
  • We must confront the $171 million budget deficit. I know how to partner with our federal and state partners and how to ask for what we need. And I will be a true partner with our school board and our county council; we cannot serve as a divided government.

 

As we face a county budget crisis, are there any areas where you feel that county government is overspending? If so, please specify.

  • I will audit spending to make sure county resources are being allocated in the county’s best interests.
  • Prince George’s taxpayers are committed to a first-class education system where they’ve invested fully 62% of the county’s general funds budget. We can only benefit from what we learn from the state’s audit of school budgets.
