Acting County Executive Tara Jackson Legislative Priorities 2025

The Maryland Legislative session is where areas of improvement within our community become areas of opportunity and laws that will enhance the quality of life of all Prince Georgians. Beginning with a meeting at the State House in Annapolis, the General Assembly changes, adds, and repeals laws through the legislative process of introducing and passing bills, or drafts of proposed legislation, which the Governor later signs into law.  

Acting County Executive Tara Jackson delivered her plans to provide for Prince George’s County residents during the 2025 Maryland General Assembly. This year's priorities include significant investments in the County’s healthcare infrastructure, climate resilience, and stormwater management. These investments are crucial for ensuring that all County residents have access to quality healthcare infrastructure and a safer environment. For more details on Prince George’s County's healthcare and social needs assessment please see HERE and visit The Flood Control Program for more information on stormwater management initiatives. 
 

Securing these investments means protecting our communities, improving quality of life, and creating a stronger, more sustainable Prince George’s County for generations to come.”
