Alonzo Washington
DEMOCRAT
for Maryland State Senate | District 22
Fighting for All of Us.
Alonzo Washington grew up in Prince George's County. Raised by a single mother, he spent time in a homeless shelter as a child and became the first person in his family to graduate from both high school and college. His experience shaped who he is, and his legislative priorities.
Now in his second decade of public service, Alonzo has built one of Maryland's strongest records on education, economic opportunity, public safety, and community accountability — always with District 22 families at the center.
Alonzo Washington Is Fighting For:
-
Better Schools and Real Education Accountability
Every child in Prince George's County deserves a quality education — and parents deserve to know it's being delivered. Alonzo helped shape Maryland's Blueprint for Education, championed student mental health, and introduced new legislation to hold the county's special education system accountable. He's not done.
-
Economic Opportunity and Good Jobs
Senator Washington has fought to accelerate Maryland's minimum wage increase, expand apprenticeship programs, support workers displaced by federal cuts, and invest $125 million in emerging industries like quantum computing that will create the next generation of good jobs.
-
Safer Communities and Real Accountability
People are safer with a police force they can trust. Alonzo Washington co-chaired Prince George's County's most comprehensive police reform process in recent history, producing 50 recommendations with a 92% implementation rate. He's continued that work in Annapolis, supporting expungement reform, restorative justice, and civil rights protections.
-
Affordable Housing and Smart Growth
Washington has been a consistent advocate for transit investment, housing stability, and smart community development for District 22 in fast-growing communities like Greenbelt, Hyattsville, and New Carrollton. Alonzo is making sure that growth works for longtime residents. He's backed new protections for renters, transit-oriented development that generates over a billion dollars in local tax revenue, and investments in neighborhood infrastructure like safer sidewalks, stormwater mitigation, improved parks, and more.
-
Health Care You Can Count On
No one should have to choose between a doctor's visit and paying rent. Alonzo has consistently fought to expand Medicaid telehealth, protect patients from medical debt, and give Maryland more power to rein in prescription drug prices. He's also pushing for greater transparency on mental health capacity — because the crisis is real and the system needs to respond.
-
Clean Energy and Lower Utility Bills
Maryland families shouldn't be squeezed by rising energy costs while the state falls behind on climate. Senator Washington has supported offshore wind expansion, transit investment, and the Utility RELIEF Act — projected to save Maryland families around $150 a year on their energy bills.
