Greetings #TeamAlsobrooks!
We are expressing our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the devastating Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. We grieve with the families of Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, who lost their lives during the accident. We continue to pray for the victims – including those still missing, their families, and the people of Baltimore. We must stand together to uplift the Baltimore region as they recover from this horrific event.
Donate to the families impacted by the key bridge collapse here.
From the Campaign Trail and Beyond…
As the great former Senator Barbara Mikulski said, “Each one of us can make a difference. Together we make change.” Team Alsobrooks is doing just that. We are truly amazed to have the support of so many Marylanders. Our grassroots movement is key to keeping the Senate blue and defeating Senator Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked candidate Larry Hogan come November.
In case you missed it, Team Alsobrooks has been honored to have earned some critical endorsements in this race, just in the last week. Here are some highlights:
Monday, Angela was endorsed by Congressman Jamie Raskin. In a video announcing his support, Rep Raskin said:
“I’m supporting Angela Alsobrooks for the U.S. Senate because she’s going to deliver for the people of Maryland everyday while defending democracy and freedom against Donald Trump and his MAGA party. She can defeat Larry Hogan in November and prevent extremists from taking control of the Senate.”
We are proud to have him on our team. You can find more about why Rep. Raskin endorsed Angela in this Washington Post article.
Angela was also proud to receive endorsements from Congressional Black Caucus members, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-12), Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03), Congressman Gregory Meeks (NY-5), Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke (NY-9), and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), longtime public servants who are supporting Angela because of her record of getting things done for Maryland.
“I am thrilled to endorse Angela Alsobrooks for U.S. Senate. Angela is not just a leader; she's a trailblazer who has consistently stood up for families and worked tirelessly for the betterment of Maryland,” said Congresswoman Clarke. “Her vision and integrity make her the best choice to represent Maryland in the Senate, where I am confident she will continue to fight for justice and equality.”
Angela also earned the endorsement of former Prince George’s County Executive, Rushern Baker. In a Washington Post article, Mr Baker said:
“I’m supporting my good friend Angela to be Maryland’s next United States Senator because I worked alongside her for eight years and I know her heart and her passion for serving people. Angela has the knowledge, temperament and vision to lead Maryland forward when she gets to the Senate. I’m getting off the sidelines now because I believe she is the strongest candidate to take on Larry Hogan in the General Election. We need a disciplined candidate who can turn out the Democratic base. That’s why I’m all in for Angela, and I encourage all Prince Georgians and Marylanders to join me.”
Team Alsobrooks is appreciative to Rep. Raskin, Rep. Lee, Rep. Meeks, Rep. Beatty, Rep. Clarke, Rep. Crockett, and Mr. Baker for their kind and powerful words. We are thrilled to have the support of people who have dedicated their lives to improving their communities. Team Alsobrooks is taking that energy all the way to Capitol Hill!
This race will be won by the power of the many, not the power of money. In order to win, we need people across Maryland to come together and support our grassroots campaign by telling their friends and neighbors about Angela, making calls, and knocking on doors. Marylanders deserve a Senator who will fight for equality, economic opportunity for all of our communities, access to affordable healthcare, and safe communities.
Last Friday, there was great energy at the New Psalmist Baptist Church and League of Women Voters Forum in Baltimore. As our campaign continues to grow, we remain committed to going farther and doing better for every Marylander in our State.
Angela’s dad, Mac Alsobrooks, has been campaigning by her side since her first election in 2010, and Team Alsobrooks is lucky to have his energy behind us! Last Saturday, he hosted a phenomenal Men for Alsobrooks event in Upper Marlboro.
While in Frederick we had a robust conversation about what can be done to improve the livelihoods of Veterans in Maryland. Our vets have served our country and now that they’re back home it’s crucial we give them the resources they deserve to be successful and healthy.
The energy at our meet and greet in Frederick was electric! We are elated to have earned the support of so many people and communities across our state.
We attended the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s U.S. Senate Candidate Forum. Every community and Marylander deserves a Senator who listens to their concerns and fights like everything for them. Angela plans to go farther and do better for every single Marylander.
We had a very important discussion with a group of women in Frederick about the necessity to expand access to reproductive medicine and to protect IVF. Thank you to everyone who came out and shared their stories.
What a blessing to participate in Palm Sunday Services at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Baltimore City/County. It was so great to join others in fellowship on such a Holy day.
We were overjoyed to attend a gathering hosted by Sen. Shelly Hettleman in Owings Mills. We are in awe of all she does for women throughout Maryland, fighting for abortion rights and access to reproductive care - it is so wonderful to have her support in this race. Pleasure seeing our friends Councilman Julian Jones and Delegate N. Scott Phillips as always!
We had an excellent time attending the Omicron Phi Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta’s P.E.A.R.L Anniversary. Thank you for inviting us to celebrate with all of you on this wonderful occasion!
What an honor to be in Annapolis to give remarks at the Michelle Obama Awards and Women’s History Month Celebration! This year’s honorees have all done tremendous work promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in their communities, and are paving the path for the next generation of leaders in Maryland.
