Vote Dan Peabody for Hyattsville City Council Representing Ward 4

Working to Keep Hyattsville's Ward 4 a wonderful place to live, learn, and play

A STRONG WARD 4 & A UNIFIED HYATTSVILLE

My wife, Patience, and I love our friendly, diverse, residential community and are proud to raise our 2-year-old daughter here. As the father of a young daughter of color, living in a diverse and inclusive place was an essential part of why we chose to make Hyattsville our home. And it is with inclusion in mind that I have decided to run for city council. At a time of incredible growth for our great city, I am running to ensure that Council works collaboratively with residents to keep Ward 4 a thriving, safe, and opportunity-filled community. I want every member of the community – regardless of age, race, gender, orientation, or place of birth – to have opportunities to contribute to and partake in all we have to offer as a city and as a ward. As a veteran public school educator, I am driven to make sure that our city’s young people are prepared to learn and achieve and harness their creativity.

If elected, I will strengthen community engagement within Ward 4, tighten our connections across wards, and deepen our relationships with our extended Prince Georges County officials to ensure that county programs are funneling into Hyattsville. As Councilmember, I will engage our community in meaningful and relevant ways and guarantee that the voices of Ward 4 residents are fully considered in city decisions.

I will advocate for what we say we need to ensure:

We Thrive

We have dedicated, family-friendly opportunities to come together as a ward, our schools are high-quality and well-supported, and our community is a wonderful place to live, learn, and play.

We Feel Safe

Our community is more connected and safer than ever, we have ways to communicate with one another, and we have deeper relationships with those charged with protecting and serving us.

We Have Opportunity

The development that happens in Ward 4 and broadly in Hyattsville benefits us, our taxes are manageable, and our residents aren’t priced out of the community.
