Prince George’s Co. council member abruptly steps down

Prince George’s County Council member Derrick Leon Davis is resigning from the 6th District council seat, effective April 15. Davis, who has served on the council since 2011, issued a statement Friday saying the time had come to “rest, restore and prepare for the next leg of this journey,” but did not say why he is resigning or what the next step in that journey would entail. In the fall, Davis was at the center of a controversy over a redistricting plan for the county council.
