Greetings #TeamAlsobrooks,

Another great week on the campaign trail! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us this past week. Your efforts to boost the campaign are going to be what takes us over the finish line. Let's keep fighting the good fight to have a better future for all Marylanders.

We started the week off strong, announcing our first campaign commercial! You can watch the ad here.

In case you missed it, here’s what’s been happening for the past week on the campaign trail and beyond:

In Baltimore, we were joined by over 200 people for our 100 Men for Alsobrooks event. Thank you to our amazing host committee, including Congressman John Sarbanes, Congressman Kweisi Mfume, Senator Cory McCray, County Executive Johnny Olszewski for gathering such an incredible crowd on a Saturday morning.

We stopped by Su Casa Furniture store in Baltimore, where we had a great conversation with their manager Nick about how we can further support Baltimore residents and local businesses. By providing access to capital and investing in our communities, we can revitalize communities and small businesses across Maryland.

Angela stopped by Jinji Chocolates in Northeast Baltimore for some tasty treats. The founders, Jinji and Guy Fraser, collaborate with cacao farmers to ensure that they are paid equitable wages while preserving the land they grow their product on. We also discussed how important land and climate protection is to them and how their business model could be applied to other businesses across the country.

How wonderful it was to meet Monesha Phillips and to visit her store, Pandora’s Box in South Baltimore, filled with whimsical trinkets and amazing little knick knacks. We are simply in awe of the creativity and the innovation that entrepreneurs like Monesha possess across Maryland.

While making our way around Baltimore, we stopped by Franchesca’s Empanadas Café for lunch, where the empanadas were absolutely delectable and packed with flavor! The owner, Franchesca, saw the need for an empanada restaurant in Baltimore, and as a result, created a space for the community to gather for some good food.

We spent some time touring the historic Pennsylvania Ave Main Street in Baltimore. We had the pleasure of visiting the Pennsylvania Avenue Market, home to many wonderful, thriving small businesses. It’s crucial we expand access to capital for minority owned businesses as they are pivotal to the success of our communities and local economies.

It was wonderful to celebrate Valentine’s Day at the ATU Local 689’s annual Sweetheart Ball. Thank you to President Ray Jackson for inviting us to join the festivities! We are honored by your continued support!

Sunday morning, we worshiped with Congressman Kweisi Mfume and his super bad wife Dr. Mfume at the New Shiloh Baptist Church in Baltimore. Thank you to Pastor Dr. Harold Carter for a wonderful service and powerful sermon.
