Prokop for District 6

06/19/2026

Imagine knowing exactly what your County Council is about to vote on, and voicing your opinion — before they do.

That is no longer just an idea.

That is RealVote.

For too long, decisions have been made about us, but without us. Too often, residents find out what happened only after it is too late to speak, too late to organize, and too late to be heard.

RealVote changes that.

Created by Dominik Prokop, candidate for Anne Arundel County Council in District 6, RealVote is a non-partisan civic transparency app designed to bring residents into the process before decisions are made.

With RealVote, you can stay informed about bills, proposals, ordinances, zoning changes, and major decisions before they happen. You can vote on where you stand and send your representative a clear signal in real time.

No more guessing. No more finding out after the fact. No more government behind closed doors.

RealVote was built in just weeks, at zero cost to the public. Not a penny of tax money.

I built it as a public service because I believe real representation doesn't start in an elected office. It starts with listening.

If elected, RealVote becomes the way I govern. I will use it to ask residents what they think on every important vote, before I vote, and I will publish my voting record alongside what residents said they wanted, so you can see for yourself how I represented you.

This is the future of representation: secure, transparent, democratic, and built around the people.

RealVote is currently available to verified registered voters in Anne Arundel County District 6. Verification protects the integrity of every poll. As we grow, RealVote will expand to additional districts.

📱 Download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play, or visit https://realvote.app/

Join the movement. Make your voice impossible to ignore.

🗳 On June 23: Vote Dominik Prokop. County Council, District 6.

Transparency note: RealVote is currently in beta as we continue testing additional features. Accounts are verified against the official Anne Arundel County Board of Elections registered voter list. The app is fully functioning, and some current polls may be included for demonstration or testing purposes.

By authority of Prokop for District 6, T. Y. Prokop, Treasurer.

RealVote helps residents stay informed, participate in polls, connect with representatives, and follow community events through one secure civic engagement platform.

Today we honor Juneteenth.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that all enslaved people were free. For the 250,000 people still held in bo***ge there, that day was the beginning of freedom.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom in this country has never come automatically. It was fought for. It was waited for. It was claimed by people who held on to faith and dignity through generations of injustice. And it reminds us that the work of equality - real, lived, daily equality, is not finished.

In Anne Arundel County, that work continues. Crownsville Memorial Park is sacred ground. The history that happened on that land is part of our county's story, and we owe it to the people of this community to make sure that history is honored and that the future built there reflects the dignity of those who came before.

The promise of America, that every person, regardless of where they come from or what they have been through, deserves the same opportunity to build a better life, is the promise this day stands for.

Today, I am thinking about that promise, and about everyone in our community working to make it real.

To Black neighbors, friends, colleagues, and leaders across District 6: thank you for the strength, history, and contributions that have shaped this community. Today is yours to honor and celebrate.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!


By authority of Prokop for District 6, T. Y. Prokop, Treasurer.

Last night I had the honor of standing on stage with five other District 6 candidates at Maryland Hall - for what I believe was the most substantive debate of this cycle.

Thank you to the Ward One Residents Association, the Eastport Civic Association, and Annapolitans for a Better Community for all the work you put into making this evening possible. Thank you to Tom Krieck for organizing this event and to former County Executive Bobby Neall for moderating with grace and discipline. Thank you to the panelists for asking the questions that residents actually care about - without flinching.

And thank you most of all to the residents who filled the room. Especially the young woman who stood up and asked the question that has stayed with me all night:

"What will you do to help young people stay in District 6, start businesses, and afford to live in the community we grew up in?"

That question IS this campaign.

I came to this country with $600 in my pocket and an orange backpack. This country and this community gave me so much - the opportunity to build a life, raise my family, and create jobs that today support more than 500 people. The American Dream worked for me. Now it is my turn to give back.

Here is what I will do to help young people stay, start, and build their lives here.

→ First, we have to fix the affordability formula. The current calculation is broken and doesn’t work for the ones we are trying to help. I will lead a review of how affordability is defined and approved, so the label actually means what working families and young people need it to mean.

→ Second, I will launch a real Local Business First Program - not on paper, in practice. County contracts, procurement, and small-business support should prioritize the employers who hire, train, and invest in our neighbors. I have spent 20 years building businesses here. I know what it takes - and I know what it costs when government does not show up for local entrepreneurs.

→ Third, our public schools must give every family a reason to stay. Too many young families are leaving the district because they cannot find the school quality their children deserve. I will fight for fully funded schools, deeply supported teachers, and a real seat at the table for parents on every decision affecting their kids.

The very first question of the night was about transparency. About whether residents can trust the government to truly work for them. I said what I have been saying since the day I entered this race: right now, this government is not working for the people. It is not as transparent as it needs to be. And that has to change.

That is exactly why I built RealVote BEFORE being elected - to make sure residents are in the room before votes are cast, not after. Every decision I have just described - affordability, business, schools - residents will see, weigh in on, and influence BEFORE the vote, not after.

Last night we also talked about what is coming next - including data centers in District 6. I believe these projects must be paused and fully evaluated for their impact on residents AND the environment - our water, our power, our neighborhoods, and the natural resources that make this district worth living in - before any approval. I will have more to say on this in the days ahead.

The pattern beneath all of these issues is the same. Decisions being made about us, without us, even despite us.

Here is my vision for District 6 - and I will begin making it a reality on Day One:

A place where our kids and grandkids can stay and build their futures.
A place where essential workers and teachers actually want to live and work.
A place where schools work for families - fully funded, with teachers appreciated, and students have access to healthier, organic meal options.
A place where you can trust that your government truly represents you.
A place where every public dollar is treated with the same care we give our own household budgets.
A place where everyone, regardless of where you come from, can prosper.

And a place where the County Council partners with the City of Annapolis on every cross-boundary issue affecting our residents. Because residents do not care about turf. They care about results.

If I earn your vote, you will never have to wonder which side I am on. It will always be yours.

Decisions are made by the people who show up. Be one of them.

🗓 Early voting: through June 18, 7 AM–8 PM daily.
🗳 Primary Day: Tuesday, June 23.

Why every Democrat in District 6 MUST vote this Primary.
I am a Democrat because I believe in a fundamental American idea: government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Not government over the people.

Not government behind closed doors. Not government that asks for testimony and ignores it. Not government that promises affordable housing and delivers $1.3 million townhomes. Not government that says it values community input and then announces decisions the community never agreed to.

That is the pattern we have been living. You have read my posts. You have lived it in your neighborhoods.

You already know which kind of government you want. The only question is whether you will show up to demand it.

Our democracy was built on one simple truth: when the people show up, government works for them. When the people stay home, government works for someone else.

Right now, government is working for someone else.

On June 23, that changes. Not because anyone hands it to us. Because YOU change it.

I am running because I believe residents deserve a seat at the table when decisions are made about their neighborhoods, their families, their futures. And I did not just decide to run and talk about it.

I built the tool for it. https://RealVote.app. A platform that puts you in the room before votes are cast. So no decision about your community gets made without your voice, ever again.

A vote for me on June 23 is a vote for a Councilman who asks you before the vote, not one who informs you after the decision is already made.

But none of this works if you do not show up.

If you stay home on June 23, the pattern wins. If you show up, we change it.

Decisions are made by the people who show up. Be one of them.

Every Democrat who sits this one out is a vote for the same circle, closing tighter.

The deadline to participate is June 23. Miss it, and the decision gets made without you, again.
Early voting is open RIGHT NOW.

Vote Dominik Prokop. County Council, District 6.

This campaign has opened my eyes in ways I did not fully anticipate. Residents across District 6 have been reaching out, personally and through their neighborhood associations, and what I am hearing follows one consistent, troubling pattern.

But first, let me start with the foundation of the problem.

In April, the County Council voted down Bill 23-26. A bill that would have prohibited developer contributions to elected officials. That single vote tells you everything you need to know about whose interests are being served. Every zoning decision, every development approval, every infrastructure project that benefits developers over residents - it all flows from that one moment. That was a very sad day for Anne Arundel County.

Now let me tell you what residents have been telling me.

Millersville and Crownsville - Rural communities under pressure

Residents in areas designated as rural are watching commercial development creep closer every year. Route 3 congestion is already pushing traffic onto local neighborhood roads, creating real safety and quality of life issues. A $9 million restoration of a rare cold-water stream system is at risk from inadequate stormwater protections on surrounding development. Parks are being built far from where people actually live. Green space is disappearing. And through all of it - residents are not being asked. They are being told.

The Severn River - A neighborhood fighting for its character

Several communities along the Severn River have been trying to work with the county for over a decade on a water infrastructure project they did not ask for and do not support in its current form. They are not against infrastructure. They are against being excluded from the conversation about infrastructure that directly affects their community. A recent one-year funding delay provided temporary relief, but they know the clock is ticking. Meanwhile, a recent news article portrayed them as the bad guys. They are not. They are neighbors asking for a seat at the table.

Liberty Marina - When residents win, and the Council reverses them

In 2023, the county denied a special exception for a nearly 200-room hotel on the South River - finding the developer was, in effect, trying to rezone the property through the back door. Then, in 2024, the County Council voted unanimously to approve a comprehensive rezoning of Region 7 that cleared the path for that same hotel project to move forward. Despite many testimonies from residents opposing the rezoning at every hearing, the council voted yes anyway.

And these are only a few examples. There are many more communities living the same pattern.

Strip Malls, Water Towers and Donuts - Coming to a neighborhood like yours

You moved to Crownsville or Millersville for a reason. The rural character. The nature. The distance from commercial density. How would you feel about a strip mall and a fast food restaurant going up behind your house - bringing more traffic, more safety concerns, more pressure on your morning commute and your kids' school route?

Or a 200-foot industrial water tower - taller than the Maryland State House - rising above your neighborhood, opposed by hundreds of residents citing environmental damage, lost property values, and the destruction of the rural character they chose to live in?

Same pattern every time. Decisions about us, but without us. Even despite us.

This is not about opposing development. It is about demanding to be part of the conversation.

We are not afterthoughts. We are the foundation. Every decision made about our communities should start with us - not end with us being handed the consequences.

With one week left, I will be honest with you about your choices.

One of my opponents has publicly supported that 200-foot water tower despite the opposition of hundreds of residents who raised serious concerns about environmental impact, significant property value decline, and the destruction of the rural character they chose to live in. Another decision made on paper - without the people as the foundation. The same opponent supports increasing density under the banner of affordable housing, while missing the real problem. Affordability is not about supply alone. It is about what we allow developers to build. The proof? $1.3 million townhomes on Riva Road. Two-bedroom apartments starting at $3,000 a month. That is not affordable housing. That is developer math.

Another opponent, a former mayor, was just endorsed by the very Councilwoman whose record on representing District 6 residents is part of the pattern you have been living through. The same Councilwoman who voted on these decisions you have just read about.

When a sitting officeholder endorses a former officeholder, that is not change. That is the same circle, closing tighter.

If you hand that endorsement a victory, you are handing the same pattern another four years.

If you want a representative who is always on your side - not the developers' side, not the political establishment's side - then you cannot keep voting for the establishment.

Same people. Same results.

On June 23, you have the power to change it. Will you?

Over the past few weeks, you may have seen endorsement announcements in this race. Officeholders endorsing former officeholders. Organizations lining up behind the candidates they have always lined up behind.

That is how it has worked here for a long time. The same political circle, passing support back and forth, election after election.

And after every election, the same results.
Families priced out of the neighborhoods they helped build.
Promises of affordable housing that produce $1.3 million townhomes and $3,000 rents.
Residents finding out about decisions after they were already made.
Communities testifying for months, only to watch the council vote against them anyway.

Decisions made about us. Without us. Even despite us.

I made a different choice in this race.
No interest-group endorsements. No developer money. No insiders to repay.
The only people I will answer to are the people of District 6 - your neighborhoods, your families, your future.

If you want different results, it starts with choosing someone outside that circle.

Last night I had the honor of joining the Caucus of African American Leaders at the Wiley H. Bates Legacy Center for their District 6 candidate forum.

Thank you to Mr. Carl Snowden for the invitation. Thank you to Mr. Daryl Jones for moderating with the discipline and respect this conversation deserved.

Thank you to the panelists Benjamin Rothstein and Timothy Boston for asking the questions that matter. Thank you to Mayor Jared Littmann for being there. And thank you to every neighbor who came out on a Tuesday night because you care about who represents you.

What I will remember most from last night is what I heard.
I heard serious questions from the moderator and panelists - questions about affordable housing, public school and charter school funding, fiscal responsibility, and how the next Councilmember will partner with other district Councilmembers to get bills passed.

Here is where I stand.

On affordable housing - we need to start by reviewing the affordability formula itself. Working families, teachers, first responders, and seniors cannot afford a unit calling itself "affordable" that rents for $3,000 a month. That is a label. Real affordability has to mean real families can live in the community they serve.

On school funding - we cannot keep saying there is never enough money for our schools without asking honest questions about where the dollars are going. I will call for a transparency audit so every parent and every teacher can see whether public dollars are actually reaching the classroom.

On partnership across districts - I have spent 20 years building businesses by working with people from every background and finding common ground. That is what County government needs. Not political loyalty. Common goals, honest negotiation, and getting things done for the residents who sent us there. I am hopeful that the next County Council will make the people they represent their priority. Partnership only works when everyone at the table is actually representing the residents who elected them, not interest groups, not political circles.

I also heard a community member rise to speak about the Crownsville project and the responsibility every elected official has to honor that ground.

I heard from a holistic health practitioner about the importance of raising our children well, because nothing we do matters more.

This is the vision I am running for. A District 6 where every resident, in every neighborhood, can trust that government represents them, not special interests, not political circles, not decisions made behind closed doors. A district where our kids and grandkids, in every neighborhood, of every background, can afford to stay and build their futures. Where the American Dream is real - not just for some of us, but for all of us. That is the district I want to leave for the next generation.

If you live in District 6, please vote. I would be honored to earn your vote.

Early voting starts Thursday, June 11. Election Day is June 23.

Government exists to serve the people, not the other way around. That is the standard I will bring to that Council seat.
