Angela Alsobrooks has resigned as the Prince George’s County Executive following her win in the race for the Maryland Senate seat over former Gov. Larry Hogan. Chief Administrative Officer Tara Jackson will act as the Acting County Executive until a special election is held to fill the final two years of Alsobrooks’ term. Potential candidates for the position include Aisha Braveboy, State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County, County councilmember Calvin Hawkins, and County Chair Jolene Ivey. Braveboy, Hawkins, and Ivey have all expressed interest in running for the County Executive seat, citing their dedication to the community and their experience in various roles within the county government. The special election will allow anyone interested in running to enter the race in order to permanently fill the vacancy left by Alsobrooks. The County Chair, Jolene Ivey, highlighted housing costs as one of the major issues affecting the county and emphasized her effectiveness in addressing community needs. Angela Alsobrooks’ new term, along with the rest of Congress, will begin on Jan. 3, 2025. The search for the next Prince George’s County Executive will be closely watched as candidates vie to lead the county forward in the wake of Alsobrooks’ departure.
