Public Financing & The Fair Election Fund

Is our democracy for sale? 🗳️

Everywhere I go in District 9, I get asked the same thing: “Imara, what really is public financing?” In this video, I’m breaking down how we’re using Maryland’s Fair Election Fund to take the "For Sale" sign off Prince George’s County Council.

For too long, political decisions in South County have been shaped by those who write the biggest checks, not the neighbors who live with the consequences. I’m changing that.

What you’ll learn in this video:

1. ✅ Why I am the ONLY candidate in this race using public financing.

2. ✅ How the Fair Election Fund legally bars me from taking more than $250 from any individual (and zero from developers or PACs!).

3. ✅ The power of the 7-to-1 match: How your $25 contribution becomes $200 of real political power.

I’m not running to serve lobbyists; I’m running to end “dumping ground” politics and protect the future of South County. Because I’m not bought, I’m free to fight for YOU.
