Prince George’s County Council Chair Krystal Oriadha has a lot on her plate as she starts her one-year term. She’s looking to make
child care more affordable,
housing more obtainable, and
the county safer. The council’s new leader will try to do all of this while navigating a growing budget gap. Chair Oriadha joined Kojo and Tom to discuss her priorities and whether
data centers could be an answer to the county’s money challenges.
2025 was certainly an
eventful year in national and
local politics. We were joined for the last Politics Hour of the year by WAMU’s Regional Politics reporters Jenny Abamu, Margaret Barthel, and Alex Koma to talk about the year’s top stories and what’s ahead in 2026.
