District 4 Takes Shape: Two Filed Candidates Define the Early Contours of the Race
By Maryland Wire
Prince George’s County’s District 4 is entering the 2026 cycle with an unusual degree of clarity: two Democratic candidates have formally filed, both active, both building early infrastructure, and both positioning themselves for a primary that will likely hinge on neighborhood networks and municipal loyalties.
The seat, currently held by appointed Councilmember Timothy Adams, remains one of the most closely watched contests in the county. With no incumbent yet filed, the race is—at least for now—defined by two women with distinct bases and contrasting political styles.
Dr. Juliet Agocha: The Early Planner with a Glenn Dale Base
Filed: September 3, 2025
Committee: Friends of Juliet Agocha
Residence: Glenn Dale
Dr. Juliet Agocha entered the race months before the District 4 vacancy even opened, signaling a long‑term strategy and a belief that the district was headed toward transition. Her early filing gave her a head start in fundraising, branding, and community outreach.
Agocha’s public profile grew during the January 2026 appointment process, where she was one of the applicants interviewed for the temporary council seat. While she was not selected, the process introduced her to a broader audience and showcased her policy‑driven, tech‑oriented approach.
Her campaign emphasizes education, community empowerment, and modernizing county services. With a Glenn Dale base and a methodical campaign structure, Agocha is positioning herself as the steady, prepared option in a district that values civic engagement.
Euniesha Davis: The Bowie Communicator with Momentum
Filed: February 2, 2026
Committee: Friends of Euniesha Davis
Residence: Bowie
Euniesha Davis represents the newer but fast‑moving entry into the race. Filing shortly after the appointment of Tim Adams, Davis is leaning into a communications‑heavy strategy, with active outreach across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Her messaging centers on family, neighborhood‑level service, and community stability—an approach that resonates strongly in Bowie, the district’s largest and most politically active municipality. Davis’ campaign infrastructure is already fully operational, suggesting a serious and organized effort.
Her Bowie base gives her immediate access to a large pool of civic associations, HOA networks, and church communities—critical assets in a low‑turnout primary.
A Two‑Lane Race—For Now
With both candidates filed and active, District 4 currently presents a clean two‑candidate field:
- Agocha: early filer, Glenn Dale base, policy‑driven
- Davis: later filer, Bowie base, communications‑driven
But the political class is watching closely for additional entrants, especially given the district’s recent appointment process and the presence of several political figures who have not yet declared their intentions.
For now, the race belongs to Agocha and Davis. Whether it stays that way remains to be seen.
