Delegate Angela Angel currently represents the 25th District of Prince George’s County in the Maryland General Assembly. Elected in 2014, Angela serves on the Health Government and Operations Committee and is Vice Chair of the Bi-County Subcommittee of the Prince George’s County House Delegation.
Born in South Bend, Indiana, Angela was raised by parents who instilled in her the commitment and work ethic to improve her own life and the lives of others. Her father lived this example as an active leader in the Urban League and NAACP, and as the first African-American Vice President of 1st Source Bank, where he established the first affordable housing initiatives in the city.
In 2001, Angela graduated with honors from Hampton University, where she volunteered on her first campaign for then Dean Mamie Locke. Dr. Locke won the campaign for mayor and now serves in the Virginia State Senate. Angela’s campaign experience led to her work with the Virginia Democratic Party and later in the Virginia House of Delegates. Angela ran for her first elected office in 2000, when she earned the esteemed title of the youngest African American woman elected to the 2000 Democratic National Convention.
Angela studied law at the Yeshiva University Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, while simultaneously raising her first daughter while her husband and brother fought in Operation Enduring Freedom. Obtaining her law degree in 2004, Angela used her degree to prosecute cases of child abuse and neglect in the states of New York and New Jersey. Throughout her highly respected career, she has prioritized justice and representation for the most underserved in our society.
Since moving to Maryland, Angela has worked in Prince George’s County as Policy advisor and in constituent services for Council Member Derrick Leon Davis. In this position, she continued to serve families in need, connecting them to local and state community resources. In addition to currently serving on the Health and Government Operations Committee, Angela is a part of both the Insurance and the Health Facilities and Occupations Subcommittees. She is not only an active member of both the Legislative Black Caucus and the Women’s Caucus but Angela has been recently appointed to the Children’s Environmental Health and Protection Advisory Council.
Angela takes on all of her commitments in the spirit of her personal mentors and civil rights pioneers including Melanie L. Campbell, Dr. Dorothy I. Height, Reverend James Orange, and Dr. Joseph Lowery. As Delegate, Angela is committed to representing the voices of her constituents that aren’t often heard. She lives in Upper Marlboro with her parents and her five children.
