On the Issues

Strong Schools: Promote safer and stronger schools that will help our students succeed

Victor Ramirez is a proud graduate of Northwestern High School and is a practicing attorney with his office located in College Park. Victor's wife, Betsy, attended and graduated from Prince George's County Public Schools and is a public school educator.  He and his wife have two young children, and understand firsthand that every child deserves a safe classroom and a school that helps them succeed.

Victor will champion early childhood initiatives and community learning hubs to ensure every child starts school ready to learn and gets the support they need to thrive. He will also advocate for expanding STEM programs, strengthening vocational and trade apprenticeships, investing in special education, and building new schools while renovating and maintaining existing ones.

Smart Development: Smart growth and environmental protection

The Arts District on Route One has developed into a thriving commerce location that allows residents a gathering place in the northern part of Prince George’s County. On the County Council, Victor will use that success as an inspiration and a model, working to bring life to public spaces. He'll advocate to turn eyesores into assets, and get new businesses and jobs into other parts of the district. He will ensure that development is sustainable and environmentally responsible.

Honor Seniors: Keeping our promise to our seniors

Victor’s parents still live in Mount Rainier in the home where he and his three siblings were raised. That foundation shapes his deep commitment to helping seniors age in place with dignity. He believes the County must expand services and make life more affordable so seniors can remain in the communities they helped build.

With both of his parents now retired, Victor has seen firsthand the financial and health challenges many seniors face. Those experiences drive his passion to ensure that seniors in Prince George’s County have the support, stability, and opportunity to live their best lives.

Clean and Affordable Neighborhoods: Community enhancement

Property standards are essential to our quality of life. Victor understands that protecting the livability of our neighborhoods requires responsive, accountable county agencies that work for residents.

Litter and bulky trash remain serious problems in far too many communities. They are unsightly, unhealthy, and unacceptable. Residents deserve regular, predictable bulky trash pickup and increased resources to keep neighborhoods clean, safe, and free of litter.

Ensuring that Prince George’s County remains affordable for every resident is a top priority for Victor. Access to safe, stable, and affordable housing is critical to maintaining strong communities and allowing families to continue to live and thrive in the county.

Greater transparency in government leads to better services and stronger communities. When residents have access to clear, timely information, government works better—because information is power.

Public Transportation: Expanding services

Victor Ramirez is a strong supporter of public transportation and understands that it must be affordable, reliable, and accessible for all residents.

He strongly supports the completion of the Purple Line, recognizing its critical role in economic development and mobility in the northern part of Prince George’s County. In the southern part of the county, Victor supports the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit (SMRT) Project as a long-overdue investment in connectivity and opportunity.

Victor believes the County should expand TheBus service to better meet residents’ needs, including more frequent and dependable routes. He will also advocate for WMATA to expand both bus and rail service, ensuring our communities have the transportation options they deserve
