Quincy Bareebe is the fundraising leader in the MD-05 Democratic primary field. As of the most recent Federal Election Commission filing period, she has raised more than $3.5 million in total campaign receipts — more than any other candidate in the race. Approximately $3.35 million of that total comes from personal loans to her campaign, a level of financial commitment that reflects her long-term investment in this district and her 2024 primary campaign, in which she finished second with nearly 10,000 votes. Bareebe has been competing in this race since October 2025 and has built an active field operation across Anne Arundel, Prince George’s, Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties. Election forecasters rate the general election Solid Democratic; the outcome will be determined in the June 23 primary.
Quincy Bareebe has spent her career working in healthcare, beginning as a certified nursing assistant providing direct care to patients before entering college. She founded Royal Home Care and Royal Assisted Living, healthcare agencies based in Odenton, Maryland, that employ more than 70 professionals serving seniors and individuals with chronic illnesses across the region. Prior to founding her companies, she worked as an auditor at KPMG and as a financial manager at the United States Department of Defense, where she gained experience in large-scale institutional healthcare contracting. Bareebe supports universal healthcare coverage, expanded access to home-based care as a cost-effective alternative to institutional care, lower prescription drug costs, and protection of Medicare and Medicaid. She has advocated for strengthening the Affordable Care Act and expanding mental health coverage for working families.
Our community deserves a representative who understands our struggles and has the expertise to deliver results.
Fresh, energetic leadership to protect Maryland’s families and build a stronger, more equitable future for the 5th District.
As a working mother, she knows education is key. Quincy put herself and her younger siblings through college while working as a home health aid and a dishwasher at KFC. She will ensure real investment in our children’s education from pre-K to debt-free community college, and career training to prepare our youth to achieve tomorrow’s successes.
Quincy will fight to protect homeownership by providing foreclosure assistance and counseling to homeowners in distress. She will champion expanded pathways to homeownership for working families. She supports creating a pathway to permanent housing ownership for Veterans and will work to make FHA and FCC grant rules more favorable to local co-ops and communities to help more people buy homes. Quincy understands that generational wealth begins with home ownership.
As a former staffer of the Department of Defense, she will defend the pay, benefits, and job security of our 75,000+ federal workers against Donald Trump. She knows that federal workers are the backbone of our community. Quincy knows there is way too much income inequality in this country, and the federal government often chooses to side with the billionaires and corporate interests at the expense of working people.
As a healthcare CEO, Quincy has seen firsthand the challenges working families face in providing their loved ones with quality care. Once a home care worker herself, Quincy founded a business that employs more than 70 healthcare professionals who provide assisted living services for seniors and care for children with chronic diseases. In Congress, Quincy will defend the Affordable Care Act (ACA), expand Medicare to cover dental and vision care, and fight to reduce prescription drug prices. Quincy Bareebe is committed to advancing universal health care.
