Policy Objectives - 

  1. Accountability: Ensure County programs are administered impartially, in compliance
    with the law, and address the needs of County residents.
  2. Children: Improve public education and recreational services to prepare our children for
    future success.
  3. Community: Provide services for seniors; ensure public safety; and diversify County
    revenue. Tonya intends to recruit new industries and enhance sports and entertainment to
    attract tourism and relieve the tax burden on homeowners.
  4. Fiscal Responsibility: With a growing budget deficit, Tonya will call for an audit of
    government spending and reduce waste. Special elections cost Prince George’s County
    $2.86 million each time. Tonya will work to save tax dollars and spare the need for
    repeated special elections.
  5. Proven Leadership: Tonya will use her years of experience and skills to revitalize Prince
    George’s County and ensure its sustainability.
