Prince George’s County Executive Aisha Braveboy won her first 4-year term Tuesday night.
It comes after she won the 2025 special election to complete the term of former county executive and now U.S. Sen. Angela Alsobrooks.
Now, Braveboy is sharing her goals and what she hopes the Democratic majority on Capitol Hill will mean for the county’s development.
She said she’s committed to what she started.
“It means that we can continue the work we’re doing to bring elevated commercial development to Prince George’s County like Sphere,” she said. “I look forward to continuing the work with Kevin Durant and his team to redevelop Six Flags.”
Throughout the last year, she said her administration has had to navigate federal layoffs, immigration concerns, the closure of Six Flags and the Commanders moving back to D.C.
Legal battles over the FBI headquarters relocation and the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center are two areas Braveboy said she believes will see some improvement with the help of a majority-Democratic Congress.
“They can, I think, help reign in some of this attitude that we have seen at the federal level from this administration, so I think this election is good for Prince George’s county,” Braveboy said. “… There’s a lot of work we’re doing along the Blue Line Corridor, Discovery District, in Konterra and really all across the county that I have enjoyed working on that I will continue working on.”
Election Night in Prince George’s County came with a few hiccups at the Dipietro Community Center and the Laurel-Beltsville Senior Center, where some waited for hours to get inside to cast their ballot.
The Prince George’s County Board of Elections addressed the long wait times at Dipietro, saying in a statement, “An additional ballot scanner was brought into the polling location to reduce voters’ wait time and to support continued election operations. Our election staff worked diligently to minimize disruptions and assist voters throughout the process.”
Prince George’s County voters decided to eliminate the county’s at-large council members — elected officials who represent residents across the county — which means the county council will go from 11 members to nine starting in the 2030 election.
As for Braveboy, she said she’s committed to improving the county for those who voted for her and those who did not.
“I’m their county executive, too,” she said. “I look forward to working with them, partnering with them and reaching out to the entire community.”
