Larry Stafford, the interim executive director of Progressive Maryland, says that "Progressive Prince George's will combine the larger organization's tested strategies for social change with the specific political and social conditions of Prince George's County. Our Prince George's chapter will fight for an economy and government that works for everyone by advocating for progressive policy at the local level and supporting progressive candidates for local office.
