Folks, I cannot wait for Kamala Harris' speech tonight officially accepting the Democratic nomination for President.

A lot of people might not know this, but Kamala Harris and I actually go way back, and if you’ve got a moment, I’d love to tell you about it!

But if you’re in a hurry, or you’ve already heard this story before, please consider donating $25 toward my campaign to defend our majority, keep Maryland blue, and give Kamala the backing she needs in the Senate on Day 1!

Kamala Harris has been a mentor and friend for more than 14 years, and I often even refer to her as “my quintessential big sister,” because she always shows up for me when I need her.

In fact, when I first won my race to become Prince George’s County Executive, one of the first calls I received was from her.

I’d like to share one piece of advice that she shared with me: More important than being first at something is to make sure you are not the last.

And now that we’re standing on the precipice of electing our country’s first woman president, that advice feels more appropriate than ever.

This whole election cycle boils down to this: Will our country be dragged backwards, reverting back to an era of fear, overreach, and fewer rights?

Or will we come together, build a winning, vibrant coalition of supporters who recognize that we’re stronger, and better, when we come together as a country and embrace progress?

That’s why we need to win BOTH the White House and the Senate in November, but it’s going to take the biggest, broadest grassroots movement our state has ever seen, so we’re going to need a lot of resources. Which is why I’m asking: Can you pitch in $25 today to keep Maryland blue and help propel our country forward?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Together,

Angela Alsobrooks
