As Mayor of Bowie,I worked to strengthen city services, support local businesses, and make strategic investments in infrastructure and quality of life.I am proud to be the first African American mayor in the city's history.Before serving in public office, I built my career as an entrepreneur. I founded Systems Application & Technologies, Inc.(SA-TECH) in 1989, starting the company from the trunk of my car and growing it into a successful business headquartered in Prince George's County.That experience taught me the value of hard work, fiscal discipline, and responsible leadership. I also serve on numerous business, education, and philanthropic boards. These experiences have prepared me to bring collaborative leadership to county government.
My priority is fiscal responsibility while ensuring that our investments reflect the needs of residents. The county’s budget should prioritize strong public schools, public safety, infrastructure improvements, and economic development. As a business owner and former mayor, I understand the importance of balancing budgets and making smart investments. I will advocate for responsible spending, transparency, and long-term planning so that taxpayers know their dollars are being used effectively while maintaining the services our communities rely on.
Prince George’s County must pursue smart development that strengthens existing communities while preparing for future growth. That means encouraging responsible transit-oriented development, protecting green space, and ensuring that development benefits residents through jobs, housing, and infrastructure improvements. Environmental stewardship is also essential. We must invest in sustainable infrastructure, protecting green space our waterways and natural resources, and ensure that environmental decisions are made with fairness and equity in mind, especially for communities that have historically been overlooked.
Strong schools are the foundation of strong communities. I will continue working with educators, parents, and community leaders to ensure our schools receive the resources they need to succeed.
Preparing for future public health challenges requires strong partnerships between local government, healthcare providers, and community organizations. As Mayor of Bowie, I led our city through the COVID-19 pandemic, making difficult decisions to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our residents. We must ensure that public health departments are well-resourced, communication with residents is clear and timely, and access to healthcare services is equitable across the country. Investing in preventive care, mental health services, and community-based health initiatives will also help build a healthier and more resilient county.
Homeownership should remain attainable and sustainable for families. I support policies that provide property tax relief while ensuring the county can continue funding essential services. Encouraging smart economic development and expanding our commercial tax base can help reduce the burden on homeowners while strengthening the county’s financial stability.
Economic development begins with creating an environment where businesses can grow and succeed. As someone who built a company from the ground up, I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face. The county should streamline processes for businesses, invest in workforce training, and strengthen partnerships with educational institutions. By supporting small businesses, attracting new industries, and leveraging our strategic location in the region, we can create good-paying jobs for residents.
We must take a balanced approach that increases housing supply while protecting existing communities. Encouraging mixed-income developments, supporting responsible redevelopment, and expanding partnerships with nonprofit housing organizations can help address affordability challenges. At the same time, we must provide supportive services and coordinated resources for residents experiencing homelessness to ensure they have pathways to stable housing.

1. While needs for services continue to mount, some residents who may have resided in the county for an extended period and now seek to remain in the county should be able to qualify for tax abatement to help them age in place.
