Greetings #TeamAlsobrooks!
The past week of the campaign has been amazing. As we get closer and closer to election day, our people-powered movement grows stronger and stronger. As our team travels across the State, we continue to be amazed by the outpouring of support. Thank you to everyone who came out this week to support our campaign!
🚨NEW AD ALERT🚨
This race will be determined by the many, not the money. Our grassroots movement is ready to fight for every Marylander and defeat Larry Hogan in the fall. Check out our new ad here. Now let’s get to work!
In Baltimore, Angela had the opportunity to share with folks across the State how she plans to go farther for every single Marylander. Angela is the only candidate who has never wavered on the issue of protecting reproductive rights. The difference could not be more clear on who can keep Maryland’s Senate seat blue and who will protect reproductive healthcare. You can watch the entire debate here.
We were proud to attend the Planned Parenthood Spring Gala to honor Dr. Sharon Camp for her work in protecting access to contraception.
Reproductive rights are on the line this November, and we're proud to be the only candidate in the race to stand with women in Maryland and across the country to fight for our rights.
There was great energy in Silver Spring on Wednesday evening. With less than twenty days left in the race, we’re gonna need Lottie, Dottie, and everybody talking to their friends and family and making sure they have a plan to vote. Let’s win this! Thank you to Senator Chris Van Hollen, Councilman Will Jawando, State Senator Will Smith, former MD Dems Party Chair Susie Turnbull, Delegate Jheanelle Wilkins, State Senator Jeff Waldstreicher, and Delegate Jared Solomon for your support!
100 Black Men of Prince George’s County does so much to uplift and mentor our community’s young people. Angela was honored to give the welcoming remarks for their annual Gala. Thank you so much to Walter Kirkland for inviting us to join, and it was good to see our friend, Senator Malcolm Augustine.
We had a wonderful time at the AFRO Tea Luncheon. It was great to connect with so many Marylanders and see all these super bad women gather to uplift each other!
Thank you to Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Former County Executive Don Mohler, State Senator Shelly Hettleman, Delegate Scott Phillips, Delegate Catherine Forbes, Delegate Nick Allen, Baltimore County Councilmember Pat Young and all the folks who came out in Baltimore County for one of our stops on our All in for Angela Tour. We were proud to stand with so many supporters who know that Angela will fight for every Marylander once we get to Capitol Hill!
Great to be back in Columbia for the Howard County Democratic Party Gala. The work they do to elect Democrats up and down the ballot is essential to preserving our democracy. It’s always a pleasure to get to chat with folks about what we’re gonna get done in the Senate.
Thank you to those who came out to join County Executive Steuart Pittman and Angela in Anne Arundel County for another great stop on our All in for Angela tour. Together we can fight to create opportunity and first chances for every Maryland community.
Great seeing our friends and neighbors at the Prince George’s Route 202 Coalition monthly meeting. Keeping our community informed and engaged keeps our community strong!
We had an excellent time meeting with seniors at The Lodge at Marlton in Upper Marlboro. When she’s in the Senate, Angela will never vote to raise the retirement age or cut a penny from retirement benefits.
We had a great time visiting with seniors at the Vistas in Upper Marlboro. Marylanders in their golden years deserve a Senator who will fight like everything to lower the cost of prescription drugs and to protect Social Security.
Thanks to our friend Gwen McCall for bringing together a great group in Bowie to hear about our plans for the U.S. Senate. Together, we’ll go farther and do better.
What a great stop in Silver Spring at Kefa Cafe, the oldest coffee shop in the city. We had a great time enjoying a cup of joe and discussing our plans to leverage federal funds to help support businesses and expand access to capital with business owner Lene Tsegaye.
We had a fantastic discussion at Shegar Spring Cafe, an Ethiopian restaurant in Silver Spring. Our cultural diversity is one of the things that makes Maryland a great state to live in. It was great to meet with Elias Woldu, and other leaders from the community.
