Rodney Streeter and Sydney Harrison claimed victory late Friday in two closely watched Prince George’s County Council races that were too close to call after last week’s primary.
In District 7, Streeter, chief of staff to council member Andrea Harrison (D), led Krystal Oriadha, a progressive activist, by 31 votes after officials finished tallying provisional and absentee ballots. In District 9, Sydney Harrison, the clerk of the county court, led activist and attorney Tamara Davis Brown by 55 votes.
Candidates can contest the results of the primary up to three days after results are certified by officials — which could happen Monday — said Prince George’s County Board of Elections Deputy Administrator Daneen Banks. Neither Oriadha nor Brown responded to repeated requests for comment.
There were no Republicans on the ballot for any of the nine district council seats.
