The three PG County District 1 candidates are coming to Laurel next Thursday, April 16 from 7 - 8:30 p.m. for a Candidate Forum and it’ll be a great opportunity for you to meet and hear them share their thoughts and ideas to help inform your vote.

The event is hosted by The Laurel Independent and will take place at the Laurel Boys and Girls Club located at 701 Montgomery Street. Admission is free, but online registration is encouraged to help event planners adequately accommodate attendees.

A few helpful background facts:

  • The City of Laurel is contained entirely within Prince Georges County, and the City’s residents are represented at the County level as part of its “District 1”.

  • The three candidates are Michelle Garcia, Martin Mitchell, and Darwin Romero. You can read some about them in the Independent’s recent article.

  • Votes will be cast in Primary Election on June 23 (so only a couple months away). All three candidates are affiliated with the Democratic party, so the Primary Election will effectively determine the results of the General Election on November 3.

  • The Primary Election will also include candidates for State and Federal (but not City, which takes place on odd-numbered years).

  • More on elections, including how to register to vote and sample ballots (once released), can be found on the Maryland Board of Elections and Prince Georges Board of Elections.

So register online and join with neighbors to meet and discuss who will next represent our County District for the next four years.
