Today is Primary Election Day in Maryland!

For Prince George’s County residents, this election will help determine who makes decisions about schools, public safety, housing, transportation, redevelopment, public lands, and investments that directly affect our neighborhoods.

For Greater Capitol Heights and other inner-Beltway communities, these issues shape the future of Metro station areas, affordable housing, neighborhood infrastructure, economic opportunity, and quality of life.

Low voter turnout doesn’t mean no decision is made. It means fewer voices determine the direction of our communities. Read more: https://bit.ly/voteMD2026?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica
