Prince George's County, MD is preparing to hold a special election for County Executive and Council District 5. In-person voting in this election will begin on February 26, 2025, and will conclude on Tuesday, March 4.

Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO conducted a candidate consideration process with several of the candidates in these races. Our process included written questionnaires as well as in-person interviews. 

Today we are proud to announce our endorsement of Aisha Braveboy for Prince George's County Executive, and Shayla Adams-Stafford for Prince George's County Council, District 5.

The members of the Council's Committee on Political Education for Prince George's & Montgomery Counties were impressed by the strategic vision that both Braveboy and Adams-Stafford put forward, as well as their clear track records of being on the side of workers, union members, and working families in our region.

If you live in Prince George's County, your ballot may have already arrived in your mailbox. We encourage everyone in Prince George's to vote for Aisha Braveboy for County Executive, and voters in Cheverly, Bladensburg, Glenarden, Colmar Manor and parts of Glenn Dale to vote for Shayla Adams-Stafford for County Council District 5.

We look forward to scheduling time to support both of these campaigns and will follow up with information about how to join that effort as soon as it's available.

Voting in our political endorsement process is open to Delegates of our Affiliate unions. Interested in being part of our future endorsement considerations? Learn about becoming an Affiliate.

Sincerely,
The Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO
