Is Prince George’s County democracy for sale? For decades, we’ve been told that backroom deals and cronyism are just the "cost of doing business" in our local government. But with 15 years of experience leading democracy and governance initiatives globally, I know the "cost of doing business" is always paid directly by working families.
I am running to be the antidote to this culture of capture. As the only candidate in this competitive race who is 100% publicly financed through the Fair Election Fund, I’ve taken a legally binding pledge to reject corporate PAC, developer, and lobbyist money. Because this campaign is funded entirely by small donations from everyday neighbors, I answer only to the people of District 9.
Our democracy should be a tool that builds us up, not a system manipulated behind closed doors. To date so many Prince Georgians have joined our effort to reject the old standard, keep infrastructure pacing with growth, and build a transparent government that is actually on your side.

Imara has been a stalwart fighter against data centers even as leaders push them. When people say no, elected officials must listen. As a publicly financed candidate, Imara answer only to you, not tech oligarchs or developers.
Imara is the only publicly financed candidate in this race. Public financing is the antidote to corruption and the loss of faith in our democracy. Because this campaign is funded only by people, not developers, Imara is free to fight for you.
Imara supports Project Labor and Labor Peace Agreements to ensure our economy works for working people. By centering Prince Georgians with livable wages and skilled local labor, we guarantee a fair, sustainable future for every family in District 9
