Office of the County Executive

Aisha N. Braveboy was elected County Executive of Prince George's County on June 3, 2025, during a special election and was sworn in as County Executive on June 19, 2025, after serving six years as Prince George’s County State’s Attorney.

Remaining true to our commitment of service, In her last two days as State’s Attorney, Ms. Braveboy remained focused on delivering justice for the people of Prince George’s County. She was engaged in a two-week jury trial that resulted in a first-degree murder conviction. She also took immediate action on two of her key priorities as County Executive: Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) and public safety. Anticipating the removal of the PGCPS Superintendent, she acted quickly to unite stakeholders behind her choice of an Interim Superintendent. She also identified and rallied support for a new Police Chief, an internal candidate from the Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD) who is community-focused and deeply familiar with the County.

County Executive Braveboy is a lifelong public servant, uniquely distinguished in County history for having served in all three branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. She was twice elected State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County, first in 2020 and again in 2023, representing over one million residents. In that role, she managed a $24 million budget and a staff of over 200. As the County’s top law enforcement officer, she secured over a 90% conviction rate in homicide cases and implemented programs to reduce recidivism, support survivors of domestic violence, address hate crimes, and combat gun violence. As County Executive, she will continue to advance a comprehensive public safety strategy to build stronger, safer communities.

Ms. Braveboy began her public service career in the Executive Branch of County government, where she gained expertise in the County’s budget process and worked on major projects such as the development of the National Harbor and Woodmore Towne Center. She learned the importance of cross-branch collaboration to achieve results. Later, she was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates to represent the 25th Legislative District. As the youngest chair (at the time) of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, she led the passage of key legislation including raising the school dropout age from 16 to 18 to help young people avoid life-altering decisions that would hinder future success.

While serving in the legislature, Ms. Braveboy also started her own law practice. When the mortgage crisis struck, she took on many clients pro bono and held foreclosure mitigation workshops across the County, connecting attorneys, lenders, and distressed homeowners. After eight years in the legislature, she became Manager of Government Affairs at Children’s National, where she led the effort to bring a Children’s National outpatient clinic to Woodmore Towne Center. There, she also championed the educational rights of hospitalized children with disabilities and developed trauma-informed training for resource officers and judges.

Ms. Braveboy has said she loved her job as State’s Attorney, but it was from that vantage point that she saw the unmet needs of County residents. Her cumulative experience in County government, the State Legislature, private practice, and law enforcement has refined her leadership and administrative abilities.

County Executive Braveboy is a promise-keeper. Her priorities include cleaning up County communities, streets, and roadways to reflect residents’ values; making Prince George’s County Public Schools the best in Maryland; focusing on job creation and youth investment; and maintaining a strong commitment to public safety. She has begun assembling a team of experienced professionals to help advance these priorities.

Born in Washington, D.C., Ms. Braveboy is a proud product of Prince George’s County Public Schools and a graduate of Largo High School. She earned a B.A. in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a J.D. from Howard University School of Law in 2000. She was admitted to the Maryland Bar the same year.
