Tara H. Jackson, the acting Prince George’s County Executive, has pledged to maintain stability in the government following the resignation of former County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. Jackson, who previously served as the county’s chief administrative officer, emphasized the importance of ensuring essential services like trash pickup and snow removal continue without interruption. She also stated that she does not intend to run for the permanent executive position, which has already attracted multiple candidates.
The County Council is expected to discuss dates and a process for special primary and general elections to replace Alsobrooks, with leading Democrats already declaring their candidacy. Jackson will need to work with a divided council as they navigate the election process and address key issues like health care funding. Jackson emphasized the importance of improving health care infrastructure in the county and ensuring residents have access to quality care locally.
As the community prepares for upcoming elections, Jackson’s focus remains on maintaining government operations and advocating for essential services in Prince George’s County.
