Team, as County Executive, I’ve learned that the fastest way to never solve your problems is to sit around waiting for a magic bullet solution.

And when it comes to an urgent crisis like climate change, it’s not just foolish to wait for that magic bullet – it’s downright dangerous.

In Washington, too many folks are hoping Republicans will see the writing on the wall about climate change and we’ll finally pass the legislation needed to solve it before it’s too late.

I’m an optimist, friend, but I’m not holding my breath!

That’s why I prefer a different approach. I like to look at a HUGE problem like climate change, break it down, and tackle it one thoughtful step at a time.

I’d like to tell you all about our achievements in Prince George’s, but first, can I ask you to chip in $10 to help me go even farther for Marylanders in the Senate?

Here in Prince George’s, we invested over a billion dollars into stormwater management. We removed over 400 tons of litter from waterways, protected clean water access, modernized our drainage systems, and built flood-prevention infrastructure in high-risk areas.

We reduced waste by creating a countywide composting program, introducing a recovery system to keep useful materials out of landfills, and installing 29 solar trash and recycling stations at bus stops across the county.

We reduced our carbon footprint by building electric vehicle infrastructure, improving accessibility for bikers and pedestrians, and securing $540 million in funding to develop walkable, bikeable neighborhoods.

I’m proud of the work we’ve done at the county level. But we didn’t get here overnight. We made slow and steady progress one day and one initiative at a time.

This Senate campaign is no different. It may look like one huge undertaking, but in reality, success is the sum total of thousands of hours of hard work and small, individual contributions from dedicated folks like you.

So please, can I count on your support to get us just one step closer to a better, brighter future for Maryland?

So gratefully,

Angela Alsobrooks
