The candidates keep coming in Prince George's special elections
At least two more candidates announced plans over the weekend to run in a March 4 Prince George’s County special primary election, and other hopefuls have until Friday’s filing deadline to add their names to the ballot.
Democrats Tonya Sweat and Shayla Adams-Stafford, business owners and education advocates, said Saturday they will seek the county executive and the District 5 County Council positions, respectively.
Sweat joins a field of five Democrats running for the executive job, including a former executive, a state senator, the state’s attorney and the two at-large members on the county council.
Adams-Stafford becomes the second Democratic candidate for District 5 after Ryan Middleton, who announced his bid in August, shortly after the special election that elevated the previous 5th District council member, Jolene Ivey, to the at-large seat, from which she is now mounting a bid for executive.
