PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MD — The presidential race gets the most attention, but Prince George’s County has several local contests as well. Five school board seats are up for grabs in this year’s election.
It’s time to get to know one of the candidates. Meet Bryan M. Swann. He is running to represent District 4 on the Prince George’s County Board of Education.
Swann is running against Shayla Adams-Stafford. More information about Adams-Stafford can be found here.
Before we meet Swann, you have to know what district you live in. Follow the instructions below to see if Swann is on the ballot in your town.
What District Am I In?
Your school district determines who represents you on the board. Head to this website to see what district you live in.
The county also has a searchable map that lists federal, state and local representatives, but it takes longer to load. Punch your address into the map to find your delegates.
Swann did not reply to Patch’s candidate questionnaire, so we pulled information from his campaign website. The details below are direct quotes from Swann’s webpage.
