Angela Alsobrooks Campaigns for Senate Seat

Angela Alsobrooks is on the campaign trail, working hard to become Maryland’s first Black woman senator. The county executive of Prince George’s County, she’s been making stops across the state, meeting with voters and showcasing her commitment to various communities.

In a recent round of events, Alsobrooks visited a local hair salon, engaged with watermen at a marina, and toured a fishing boat. She shared her passion for representing all Marylanders and expressed the joy she finds in connecting with people from different backgrounds.

Facing off in the primary against Rep. David Trone, Alsobrooks has been outspent significantly, but she believes her grassroots approach and connection to the community will carry her through. The race is crucial, especially as Democrats aim to maintain their slim majority in the Senate.

If successful, Alsobrooks would not only make history for Maryland but also aim to shape significant policies, advocating for healthcare access, a higher minimum wage, and accountability for gun manufacturers.

Speaking at the Democratic National Convention, she highlighted her relationship with Kamala Harris, who has been a mentor to her. Alsobrooks rallied support from the crowd by discussing the importance of freedom and human rights, emphasizing that this election could shift the future for many families.

With endorsements from various unions and civil rights organizations, Alsobrooks’s campaign is well-supported. However, she faces challenges, including attacks from her opponent, former Governor Larry Hogan, who has tried to paint her as aligned with party leaders rather than the voters.

Alsobrooks’s background in law, including her time as a prosecutor, has shaped her political career. As she continues to build her platform, she remains focused on community needs and ensuring that she represents the voices of all Marylanders in the Senate.
