In his current role as a School Improvement Specialist for Baltimore City Public Schools, Braxton works every day to advance educational equity and excellence across the city. His civic engagement extends beyond education; he actively participates in numerous professional, fraternal, and community organizations throughout Baltimore and the surrounding region.

He resides in the Ashburton neighborhood and serves as Vice President and Board Member of the Ashburton Area Community Association.
In his free time, you can find Braxton singing karaoke, enjoying food at local restaurants, participating in a neighborhood clean-up, or visiting a local farmers market.
Braxton Street is running for re-election to the Democratic State Central Committee representing District 40. Serving on the Central Committee is about more than a title - it’s about doing the work to strengthen our party, empower our communities, and deliver real results for Baltimore. I seek to continue doing this work. My platform is grounded in the following commitments:
Strengthening Our Democratic Infrastructure: A strong party wins elections - and builds lasting change. I have and will continue to:
Expand voter registration and engagement efforts year-round, not just during election season
Support coordinated, data-driven outreach in every neighborhood, not just in District 40 but across Baltimore and across our state.
Ensure transparency and accountability in party operations.
Work to ensure the youth are at the table in conversations and decisions regarding the direction of our community and Party.
Make sure that the Democratic Party is accountable to the people.
Community-Driven Engagement: Our party must be visible, accessible and responsive to the people we serve. I have and will continue to:
Host regular community forums and listening sessions to stay connected to residents’ concerns
Partner with neighborhood associations, faith institutions, and civic organizations
Provide clear, consistent communication about elections, issues and opportunities to get involved
Meet the people where they are— both in-person and through other methods of engagement.
Voter Education, Engagement & Protection: An informed voter is a powerful voter. I have and will continue to:
Expand education on voter registration, early voting, and mail-in ballot access
Work closely with the Board of Elections to ensure fair and accessible voting processes
Promote civic education initiatives, especially for young and first-time voters
Advocate for protecting voting rights and increasing participation across all communities
Building a Bigger, More Inclusive Party: Our strength is in our diversity—and our unity. I have and will continue to:
Engage underrepresented communities and ensure their voices are heard
Create pathways for young people to take on leadership roles within the party
Foster collaboration across generations, backgrounds and perspectives
Delivering Results for District 40 and the People of Baltimore: Representation means not just talk, but action. I have and will continue to:
Work alongside our City and State elected officials to ensure community concerns are elevated and addressed
Advocate for resources and opportunities that benefit District 40 residents
Keep constituents informed about decisions and developments that impact their lives
Stay accountable— because this role is about service, not status
I am running for re-election because the work continues. Together, we will build a Democratic Party that is ready for the moment, responsive to the people and focused on delivering real results.
Ready. Responsive. Results.
Baltimore is our home. I will continue to advocate for bold, responsible, and progressive solutions. As your community voice to the Democratic Party, I will fight for the city’s future and help write the next chapter in Baltimore’s “Greatest Comeback” story!
