Braveboy (D) declares victory in Prince George's county executive special election

Democrat Aisha Braveboy was on her way to becoming Prince George’s County’s next county executive Tuesday night after sweeping the majority of the county’s vote in a special election that drew more than 31,000 votes.

Braveboy, 50, who has served as Prince George’s state’s attorney since 2019, was well ahead of Republican Jonathan White, an Air Force veteran, garnering most of the mail-in ballots and votes cast in person, according to unofficial results.

Her apparent victory in the race to fill the seat vacated by Angela Alsobrooks, who had been elected to the U.S. Senate, sets the stage for the very blue county’s efforts to regain financial stability after the impacts of federal spending cuts and other economic losses. Both Braveboy and the majority of the Prince George’s County Council favor more liberal social and economic policies.

With more than 65,000 federal workers living in Prince George’s County, making up 17.4 percent of the county’s total workforce, the county’s middle class has been eroding amid Trump administration job cuts that have devastated a segment of the population that shoulders the burden of supporting the county’s budget through residential property taxes.
