“Today I join the Prince George’s County community and Marylanders across the State in mourning the loss of my friend and one of Maryland’s most forward- thinking leaders, Wayne Curry. As Prince George’s County Executive, Mr. Curry led the County through one of the most transformative periods in its history, overseeing the County’s explosive population and economic growth.

“Over the course of the eight years we worked together, I witnessed his tireless advocacy on behalf of the people he served and his fearless efforts to advance causes beneficial to Prince George’s County and the African-American community statewide.
