Prince George's County needs the best leadership available — capable, competent and committed leadership working in the best interest of District 6. This is not the time for trial and error in the district or in Prince George's County.

We have in Arthur Turner a leader with both a historical perspective of Prince George’s, an innovative, progressive and aggressive posture for the future and a fierce sense of urgency of right now.

Too much is on the line. Too much is at stake.

Our economic success is on the line. We need bold action to support economic stability and growth in Prince George's County. That includes attracting federal and retail opportunities, but equally to support companies in our communities to build our own tax base. Our people need jobs.

Only capable, competent and committed leadership working in the best interest of District 6 can meet these needs.

We are at a critical juncture. Either Prince George's will lead or we will follow; either Prince Georgians will pull together and work together for our greater good or we will be pulled apart for our detriment.

This is our time, this is our day to rise up and be what our founders, forefathers and leaders in the past hoped we would be, and what our youth, seniors, parents, families and community need us to be.

The time is now for committed leadership working in the best interest of District 6. The time is now for Arthur Turner.

Vote Arthur Turner for County Council District 6 in the Sept. 20 special election.

Porter Wynn, Upper Marlboro
