Four Prince George’s County Republicans are competing for the nomination to complete the remaining two years of Franklin’s term on the entirely Democratic county council.
City council members Fazlul Kabir, Kate Kennedy and Denise Mitchell, as well as political newcomer Bryan Haddad vied for residents’ votes at polling sites.
The special election comes after the March resignation and arrest of former mayor Patrick Wojahn. It will take place May 6 in the College Park City Hall.
