Greetings #Team Alsobrooks,
Another incredible week in the books! Thank you to all our supporters who showed up and showed out! Team Alsobrooks is growing by the minute and our people-powered movement is ready to win this November!
Angela is proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President! Please see below for her statement:
In case you missed it, here’s what’s been happening on the campaign trail and beyond:
We had the privilege of spending a few days on the Eastern Shore last week, visiting small businesses and speaking with community leaders and members.
We stopped by Queen Anne’s County and spent some time with Watermen and campaign supporters. Thank you to Captain Tyrone for showing us around the water. As Senator, Angela will work tirelessly to increase investments into Maryland’s fishing and crabbing industries. We look forward to coming back!
It was great to visit Big Mixx Salon and Phat Daddy’s BBQ in Chestertown! Thank you to everyone who joined our meet and greet! These small businesses represent a vibrant, growing community in Chestertown. As Maryland’s next Senator, Angela will fight for legislation that ensures these businesses can continue to thrive.
Next up: Modern Stone Age Kitchen! The Modern Stone Age Kitchen is one of Chestertown’s gems. As Senator, Angela will work to modernize the grant process small businesses rely on and ensure businesses like the Modern Stone Age Kitchen have the resources needed to continue serving the Eastern Shore.
It was a pleasure to visit the Chestertown Marina! It was great to see the Mayor of Galena, John Carroll, and the Mayor of Chestertown, David Foster, along with so many other Marylanders who are fired up about our campaign. As Senator, Angela will fight to ensure our environment is always protected from the impacts of climate change, and we look forward to being back in Chestertown soon!
Thank you to Mary Beth Durkin, Hugh Panero, and all the other amazing folks who hosted over 100 Marylanders at their home in Easton, and thank you to Governor Wes Moore for joining! We talked about everything from protecting our fundamental rights to securing a better future for all Maryland families. Together, we are going to win on November 5th!
We have an obligation to leave our state better than how we found it. We were proud to join folks at the Pine Street Community Market in Cambridge to talk about how we are going to protect reproductive rights, bring more investment back to the Eastern Shore, and ensure we keep the 51st vote in the Senate.
It was great to join the United Association Mid-Atlantic Pipe Trades Association conference in Worcester County! As Angela told the members after receiving their endorsement, she is running for Senate to protect laborers in Maryland and across our country. Labor strengthens our communities, and Angela is grateful for their support.
Thank you Harford County! Over 100 Marylanders joined us for a meet and greet because they know that Angela will deliver for communities all across the state. Thank you to Delegate Andre Johnson, Delegate Steve Johnson, Councilman Robertson, and Councilman Hiob for joining! We’re in it to win it!
We had the privilege of touring the English American Tailoring factory in Westminster. This factory is homegrown with 80% of its employees from Maryland with 100% union membership! It produces over 50,000 custom suits or custom sport coats and pants outfits each year, and has been in business since 1966. It is critical that we keep the tradition of suit making in Maryland, invest in our workers, and keep manufacturing in our state.
