Prince George’s County is under new leadership after Angela Alsobrooks stepped down as county executive this week to prepare for her new role as a U.S. senator.
Acting County Executive Tara Jackson spoke Wednesday about her priorities, the looming budget deficit and working with a divided county council.
“I may be new to the position of county executive, but I have a longstanding dedication to this county,” she said.
Jackson she said wants to assure residents that she plans to continue steady leadership and continue the priorities laid out by Alsobrooks, who was elected to the U.S. Senate last month and will take office in January.
