He has spent over a decade fighting for Prince George's County in the State Capitol, serving in key leadership positions in both the House of Delegates and the Maryland Senate.<h4>A Tireless Advocate for His Constituents</h4>In the 2022 Democratic Primary, Alonzo T. Washington worked tirelessly to gain the trust and support of his District 22 constituents. Then a State Delegate, he enthusiastically toured every public school, hosted town hall meetings, and knocked on thousands of doors, to hear his constituents’ concerns firsthand. Through his grassroots efforts,&nbsp;Alonzo finished first out of the six&nbsp;candidates for the House—finishing in first place for the third consecutive primary election.&nbsp;As a member of the House of Delegates, Alonzo served&nbsp;in several leadership positions, including Vice Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, and Chair of the Education Subcommittee.&nbsp;He&nbsp;was the first black person, and first Prince Georgian to ever hold that position.In previous years, he has served as Deputy Majority Whip, First Vice Chair of the Prince George’s House Delegation, Chair of the House Election Law Subcommittee, Chair of the Prince George’s County Education Committee, and Chair of the Prince George’s County Law Enforcement Committee. Alonzo also served as Co-Chair of the Prince George’s County Police Reform Work Group, and was a member of the Kirwan Commission on Excellence and Innovation in Education during his tenure in the House.In January 2023, Alonzo was appointed to serve as State Senator – the first Black person to ever represent our District in the Maryland Senate. In this new role, Senator Washington fashioned his priorities to reduce poverty, promote a vibrant local economy, achieve greater accountability from our public schools, and close the student achievement gap. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee,&nbsp;Senator Washington&nbsp;has influenced the flow of resources towards better educational opportunities, a more equitable tax code, and a stronger climate for Maryland small businesses and startup companies to succeed.During his time in Annapolis, he has been a statewide leader on many key issues, including record funding for public schools through the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, free community college for PGCPS grads, significant police reform measures, historic tax relief for seniors, and securing $200 Million to relocate FBI headquarters to Prince George's County.<h4>Senator Washington is a Leader that Inspires</h4>Senator&nbsp;Washington is a life-long resident of Prince George’s County and a graduate of its public schools. The oldest of six children, he grew up under difficult circumstances which caused his family to be homeless for a short time; and to occasionally reside in some of the county’s most troubled neighborhoods. Raised by a strong single mother, who believed in the power of education, Senator Washington became the first member of his family to attend college. He graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice.Since his election,&nbsp;Senator Washington has continued to work tirelessly to keep his constituents connected, informed and engaged with their community by hosting over 75 town halls. To&nbsp;keep the community informed during the COVID-19 pandemic, he partnered with community leaders to hold several virtual town halls on key ballot initiatives, voting access, education, and much more.&nbsp;To provide essential resources to one of the most distressed communities in District 22,&nbsp;Senator Washington has hosted his Annual Backpack and School Supply Giveaway, Coat Drives, Thanksgiving Meal Giveaways, and other community resource events.&nbsp;He has also sponsored several meal distributions and community resource drives across District 22.These experiences have allowed&nbsp;Senator Washington to become both a trusted and reliable member of the local community as well as an insightful political leader, poised to prepare Prince George’s County to tackle major initiatives, such as reforming&nbsp;our education system, ensuring consumer protections, and developing the Purple Line.Senator&nbsp;Washington has previously worked as Executive Director of CASA in Action, Chief of Staff on Prince George’s Council, and for the County Redevelopment Authority. He currently resides in Greenbelt, Maryland with his wife, Rohey; their daughter; and adopted dog, Policy.Positions &amp; Appointments<ul><li>Senate Finance Committee (2024-present)</li><li>Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee (2023-2024)</li><li>Vice Chair, House Ways and Means Committee (2020-2023)</li><li>Chair, House Education Subcommittee (2020-2023)</li><li>Co-Chair, Prince George's County Police Reform Work Group (2020)</li><li>Chair, House Election Law Subcommittee (2017-2019)</li><li>House Deputy Majority Whip (2015-2018)</li><li>House Parliamentarian (2019)</li><li>Vice Chair, Prince George's County Delegation (2018-2019)</li><li>Member, Kirwan Commission on Innovation &amp; Excellence in Education (2016-2019)</li><li>Vice Chair, Legislative Black Caucus (2015-2016)</li></ul>

Our Campaign’s Top Issues

Senator Washington has taken a balanced and comprehensive approach to public safety, addressing the root causes of crime while holding offenders accountable. He led efforts to ban ghost guns and strengthen penalties for illegal firearms, ensuring safer neighborhoods. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by schools and communities, he increased penalties for young offenders involved in car thefts or bringing weapons into schools.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the same time, Senator Washington has prioritized prevention and support. He championed mental health days for students, expanded the presence of behavioral health specialists in all schools, and established teen centers and job centers in five towns across Prince George’s County. These initiatives provide critical resources and opportunities for youth, addressing the factors that often lead to criminal behavior.As County Executive, Senator Washington will continue to reduce crime through accountability and investment in programs that uplift communities. He will work to improve law enforcement resources, expand youth engagement initiatives, and ensure every resident feels safe in their home and neighborhood. His balanced approach to public safety combines tough measures on crime with meaningful support systems to build a stronger, more united Prince George’s County.”

Stop Violent Crime

Senator Washington is a champion for small businesses and innovation. His leadership was instrumental in securing the FBI Headquarters in Greenbelt, protecting businesses along the Purple Line, and establishing the Maryland Aerospace and Technology Commission. He also created the Capitol Region Economic Development Fund to drive growth and opportunity across the region.

A Thriving Economy

The lack of affordable housing in our region is keeping thousands of families in poverty and making it harder for residents to achieve economic stability. Senator Alonzo Washington has been a leader in tackling this crisis, supporting efforts to prioritize new housing developments around transit hubs while strengthening protections for renters, including implementing additional restrictions on evictions.&nbsp;&nbsp;As the architect of Prince George’s County’s first Housing Trust Fund and the National Capital Region Economic Fund, Senator Washington has helped invest millions to improve the quality and availability of housing options. With Maryland facing a shortage of 96,000 housing units, Senator Washington is committed to ensuring Prince George’s County leads the way in addressing this gap.&nbsp;&nbsp;Under his leadership as County Executive, Senator Washington will: • Expand the county’s housing stock by streamlining development and investing in transformative housing programs. • Dismantle and rebuild DPIE, creating an efficient permitting process that removes delays and cuts red tape, particularly for housing projects. • Ensure housing developments are sustainable, equitable, and accessible to families of all income levels.&nbsp;&nbsp;With Senator Washington at the helm, Prince George’s County will become a model for innovative, affordable housing solutions, providing opportunities for families to thrive while addressing the growing demand for quality homes.

Housing Affordability

Renowned as a Statewide Leader in Education, Alonzo has worked hard to bring in billions of dollars in new funding for PGCPS. This critical funding has provided for the construction of over a dozen new schools, new programs for students living in poverty, and tuition-free community college.

Transforming Public Education

Senator Alonzo Washington is committed to addressing the healthcare challenges facing Prince George’s County. Despite minor improvements, too many families continue to leave the county for healthcare services, even for routine or critical needs. Reports show the county is short over 100 physicians and lacks more than 200 hospital beds, leading to long emergency room wait times and delayed care.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maternal health outcomes for Black women in the county remain alarmingly poor, forcing many families to seek care and deliver their babies outside of Prince George’s County. As a father and husband, Senator Washington understands the urgency of these issues and is determined to bring change.&nbsp;&nbsp;He will work tirelessly to: • Expand healthcare workforce initiatives to recruit and retain physicians, nurses, and specialists. • Increase hospital capacity, ensuring the county has enough beds to meet the growing needs of its residents. • Improve maternal health outcomes by addressing disparities in care and access for women of color. • Expand access to mental health services and behavioral health programs, especially for students and families. • Hold the state accountable for its historical lack of investment in healthcare for Prince George’s County, demanding equity in funding and resources. &nbsp;Senator Washington’s vision for healthcare focuses on affordability, access, and equity, ensuring that every family in Prince George’s County can rely on high-quality care close to home. With his leadership, the county will no longer lag behind—it will lead the state in delivering the health outcomes our residents deserve.

Improving Healthcare

I am committed to making Prince George’s County a safer place for pedestrians. Working with community stakeholders, residents, and government agencies, I will implement targeted strategies to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities while creating more walkable, vibrant communities. My plan includes the following key measures: 1. Enhanced Crosswalk Visibility: We will install high-visibility crosswalks with advanced safety features such as flashing beacons, raised crossings, and improved lighting to ensure pedestrians are seen, even in low-visibility conditions. 2. Sidewalk Expansion and Repairs: By investing in the construction of new sidewalks and the repair of existing ones, we will prioritize connectivity and accessibility, particularly near schools, bus stops, and commercial areas. 3. Traffic-Calming Measures: • Lower speed limits in residential neighborhoods to protect pedestrians and reduce crash severity. • Implement road diets by redesigning overly wide streets to decrease vehicle lanes and create safer spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. • Improve streetscapes on major roads to include better lighting, landscaping, and pedestrian buffers. 4. Automated Enforcement: Expanding speed cameras and other automated enforcement tools will help deter dangerous driving behaviors, especially in school zones and high-risk areas. 5. Increased Crossing Guard Presence: We will allocate resources to hire and train more crossing guards to enhance safety for children and families in school zones. 6. Public Safety Education Campaigns: Launching a robust countywide education initiative will encourage safe driving and walking practices, fostering a culture of mutual respect between pedestrians and drivers. By implementing these measures, we can ensure safer streets, protect lives, and promote walkable communities across Prince George’s County. This plan reflects my commitment to a holistic approach that prioritizes safety, equity, and sustainability.

As County Executive, I am committed to making Prince George’s County a safer place for pedestrians.

SENATOR ALONZO T. WASHINGTON STRONGLY OPPOSES LEGISLATION TO&nbsp;DISMANTLE ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY IN&nbsp;PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEMGREENBELT, MD – Senator Alonzo T. Washington strongly opposes PG 504-25, a bill supported by the Prince George’s County Board of Education that seeks to move the Office of Integrity and Compliance (OIC) from the school system to county government. This proposal undermines accountability and transparency in Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) and disrupts a critical safeguard for students and taxpayers.The OIC was established through HB 437 during the 2023 legislative session, which unanimously passed the General Assembly and was signed into law by Governor Wes Moore. This legislation ensures the OIC operates as an independent unit within PGCPS to oversee ethical governance and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. PG 504-25 directly contradicts this intent and threatens to dismantle these protections.“This office is a cornerstone of our commitment to ensuring accountability, transparency, and ethical governance in Prince George’s County Public Schools,” said Senator Washington. “Dismantling the Office of Integrity and Compliance now would be a reckless betrayal of our students, parents, teachers, and taxpayers. We fought hard to establish this office because every child deserves a school system that operates with integrity and fairness. I will not stand by as attempts are made to weaken this critical safeguard. Protecting our schools means protecting the future of our community.”Frank Turner, the Integrity and Compliance Officer, has been diligently building the office to protect students and uphold ethical standards. Senator Washington emphasizes that the OIC is still in its early stages, and drastic changes would harm its progress and effectiveness.Senator Washington calls on the Board of Education to focus on promoting transparency in schools and urges legislators to reject PG 504-25. He also encourages residents to contact their representatives to oppose this harmful bill. Protecting the integrity of Prince George’s County schools is essential for the success of our students and the trust of our community.

Sen. Washington Opposes Bill to Remove PGCPS OIC

GREENBELT, MD – Today, in front of 200 friends and supporters, Maryland State Senator Alonzo T. Washington (D-22) proudly announced his candidacy for Prince George's County Executive, with a clear mission to usher in a new era of leadership for our county. "Prince George's County deserves a new wave of leadership, starting at the top," said Senator Washington. "I’m ready to deliver on bold, forward-thinking ideas that will prioritize safer streets, better schools, and a thriving local economy."&nbsp; Senator Washington has represented the residents of District 22 in the Maryland General Assembly since 2012. He has hosted over 75 district town halls and sponsored numerous meal distributions and community resource drives across his district every year.&nbsp; In Annapolis, Senator Washington has been appointed to several leadership positions, including Vice Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, Chair of the Education Subcommittee, Chair of the Election Law Subcommittee, Deputy Majority Whip, House Parliamentarian, First Vice Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus, First Vice Chair of the Prince George’s House Delegation, and Chair of the County Law Enforcement Subcommittee.&nbsp; Senator Washington built an extensive legislative portfolio as he has brought record funding to schools with high levels of poverty; passed historic tax cuts for seniors, retirees, and working families; and become a statewide leader on police and criminal justice reform.&nbsp; Raised in Prince George’s County and a proud graduate of its public schools, Senator Washington grew up under difficult circumstances which caused his family to be homeless for a short time; and to occasionally reside in some of the county’s most troubled neighborhoods. He became the first member of his family to attend college and currently resides in Greenbelt, MD with his wife, Rohey; their daughter; and adopted dog, Policy.&nbsp; "Our campaign is not just about disrupting systems for the sake of change," explained Senator Washington. "The responsibility of leading Prince George's County is profound and consequential, and I’m excited to lead a grassroots campaign that focuses on integrity and accountability. Our residents deserve nothing less.”&nbsp; Senator Washington will run in the Tuesday, March 5th Special Primary Election to fill the seat of outgoing County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.
