Greetings #Team Alsobrooks,
Thank you to all our supporters who showed up and showed out! Our people-powered movement is growing more and more everyday.
In case you missed it, here’s what’s been happening on the campaign trail and beyond:
The two year anniversary of Dobbs is a reminder that we must be vigilant in fighting for and protecting our freedoms and never take our liberties for granted. We joined Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss how we can protect reproductive rights and stand against Donald Trump and the Republican party’s attempt to strip away democracy.
We are proud to announce that the Maryland State Education Association has endorsed our campaign for Senate. As County Executive, Angela broke ground on 10 new schools in Prince George’s. As Senator, she will continue the fight to increase Title I funding for public education and support our students and teachers. No child’s zip code should determine the quality of their education.
Thank you former Councilwoman Megan Outten for hosting and to former State Senator James Mathias and everyone else who joined us for an awesome meet and greet in Ocean City! It was so great chatting with folks about how we are going to protect reproductive rights, fight gun violence, and ensure Democrats have the key 51st vote in the Senate. Let’s keep Maryland blue together!
Maryland Democrats were fired up at the MD Dems gala! Our future is at stake this election, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be your nominee for Senate. We are taking this fight and our momentum all the way to the polls this November. Together, we will win.
We had the pleasure of marching in the Scotland Juneteenth Festival at the Cabin John Regional Park, a place where enslaved Americans were once forced to work. The Scotland community was one of the earliest African American settlements in Montgomery County and represents the resilience of the early families who called this neighborhood home. Thank you to everyone who joined us, including Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, and marched alongside our team. We will never stop fighting until we achieve true equality for all!
Proud to join so many familiar faces at Bowie’s Juneteenth weekend celebration. Juneteenth is a chance to celebrate the progress we’ve made and is also a reminder of the substantial work that needs to be done for the community.
Thank you to Senator Ben Cardin for joining us for a discussion with Jewish community leaders in Pikesville and a tour of the Pikesville Armory.
Thank you to Prince George’s County Muslim Council for letting us join their Eid al-Adha celebration. Great to see friends, Councilman Calvin Hawkins and Circuit Court Clerk Mahasin El Amin!
Another great Sunday service in the books! Thank you to Pastor Matthew L. Watley for the invitation to join the Kingdom Fellowship AME Church congregation. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
The 6th annual Kappa Takeover was a huge success! Thank you to Terence Matthews for the invitation, and to Grand Polemarch Jimmy McMikle, Eastern Province Polemarch Richard Mattox, and all of the leadership, for allowing us to join you for such a worthy cause. We are grateful for the work of Kappa Alpha Psi in creating scholarships and community service programs for young people around our nation.
It was so great joining Ray Benton to kick off the JTCC Children’s tennis tournament in College Park! Thanks to everyone in the community who came together to make this tournament a success.
Thank you to the folks at IBEW Local 26 for your endorsement and for a great roundtable discussion about how we can do more to support the over 820,000 members and retirees who do so much to support our economy along with a tour of your facilities.
