Biography
A proud daughter of immigrant parents, Wanika’s interest in politics began at an early age when she distributed petitions to build sidewalks in her neighborhood so kids could walk to school. That spirit of public service has never left her. As a graduate of the University of Maryland, Wanika has served Prince George’s County as a lawyer and community advocate.
As a staffer on the County Council, Wanika helped protect senior citizens’ leases and ban coal tar from Prince George’s County.
While working for State Senator Ramirez, Wanika worked on the Justice Reinvestment Act and the Trust Act, helping reform the criminal justice system and protect immigrants.
As an Assistant State’s Attorney, she spent each day targeting serious crimes while providing nonviolent offenders with paths to rehabilitation.
Outside of work, Wanika is extremely involved in her local community.
As member of Young Democrats of Prince George's County, she helped to organize Democrats during the 2016 election cycle.
She serves on the University of Maryland College Park Alumni Association’s Board of Governors and the Alumni Council for the Penn State Alumni Association.
She is a member of the 2017 Emerge Maryland Class, the 2017 Planned Parenthood Developing Leaders Program, and the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s Iota Gamma Omega Chapter in Prince George’s County.
Wanika is active in her congregation at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hyattsville and a major fan of Maryland Terps football and basketball.

Priorities
Stronger Communities
Wanika knows the key to strong neighborhoods is strong constituent service. That means addressing problems as small as potholes and as big as public safety as soon as they occur.
Good Schools that lead to Good Jobs
Wanika understands that education is the path to opportunity. She’ll fight for fair school funding, and classroom experiences that connect with college or apprenticeship training, so our children grow up to earn family supporting wages.
Peace-of-Mind for All Ages
Whether senior citizens who have served our communities for a lifetime, or children who are just starting on that path, everyone deserves a feeling of security. That means defending access to quality affordable housing, good public transportation, and safe streets without fear of crime.
