Wilson's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Education
I will be your advocate for collaborating to improve our school system by: 1. Offering competitive salaries to attract the best and brightest teachers to our schools. Economic Development 1. My role as your representative will be to hold this industry, developers, and my colleagues accountable and to propose and support legislation that will spur economic growth and opportunities for local, minority, and small businesses. Public Safety Health and Wellness Statistic shows that **Prince George’s County residents are more likely to be overweight or obese than those in the District, the State of Maryland, Baltimore, Montgomery and Howard Counties. The leading causes are contributed to adverse health choices that lead to preventable risk factors, such as cardiovascular disease which is the leading cause of death in Prince George’s County. With 71% of all restaurants in Prince George’s County offering fast food; fewer walkable/bike trails; and little to no countywide public health education, I will work hard to advocate for: 1. Healthier food choices in our communities; Additionally, I believe it is vital to advocate for the adoption of policies in our schools that will promote a healthier and safer physical, and emotional environment overall for our students and school environment as a whole.[2][3] |
