#Democrat Sen #Alsobrooks of Maryland gave Dr. #SusanMonarez a chance to speak directly to parents. “#Vaccines are safe,” she responded. “They’re life saving, & I would encourage any parent who is concerned about whether or not their child should get a #vaccine to talk to their #pediatrician, to understand the benefits of these life saving medical products & to make the best decision that they can to make sure that their #children remain #healthy & happy, & can go to school & be safe.”

Senator Angela Alsobrooks is rising up for Justice & Democracy!

#Alsobrooks #Maryland #MD #DemocratsAbroad

This is insane. Under questioning by Sen Angela #Alsobrooks, #RFKJr claims #Black people need fewer #vaccines than #White people. This is pure disinformation & utterly backwards thinking. This guy is interviewing for the job of running all of the #health agencies of the #UnitedStates.

Because if Angela loses this race to Larry Hogan, Democrats can kiss the #majority goodbye.

But polling is TIED, and we're running out of time to connect with voters.

We've gotta help Angela pull ahead, and that starts by hitting our critical $500,000 FEC End-of-Quarter goal before Monday's midnight deadline.

Can Angela count on you to chip in $25 (or whatever you can afford) and have it doubled today so we can win the race that will decide Senate control?

#Angela #Alsobrooks here.

We fell short of our emergency fundraising goal

and now our TIED Senate race in MD is a pure toss-up.

All I'm asking for today is your support
-- no tricks, no gimmicks.

Will you chip in $25, $10, or even just $1 to help boost fundraising after our slow day yesterday?

Hi team,
it's #Angela #Alsobrooks, Maryland's Democratic nominee for the United States Senate.

Did you know Kamala Harris and I are close friends? We go way back!

As a friend and mentor over the past 14 years, I'm proud to call Kamala "my quintessential big sister."

She's always there whenever I need her, and her leadership has been a personal inspiration to me in my career of public service.

So you can't even begin to imagine how proud I am to help elect her as the first female President of the United States.

I'm doing everything in my power to make Kamala's first day on the job a success -- starting by defeating Larry Hogan and holding our Democratic Senate majority.

This battleground race against Hogan heats up by the day, and it's going to take the biggest grassroots movement Maryland has ever seen to defeat him.

I can't do this without you. Can I count on your support with a $25 donation today?

Thank you, friend.

Coverage of #Alsobrooks win in the Democratic primary, to become the Dem candidate for U.S. Senator from Maryland. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/14/angela-alsobrooks-wins-messy-democratic-senate-primary-in-maryland-00158054

@Laloofah I was honored to vote for him again just a few weeks ago AND his endorsed candidate for Senate, who won her primary as well against a millionaire #alsobrooks

The only problem is that it won't happen if the Republicans hold the #Senate 😤

““With Roe overturned, many have asked what I'll do in the United States Senate,” Hogan says in the ad. “I'll support legislation that makes #Roe the law of the land in every state, so every woman can make her own choice.”

The 30-second spot is part of a more than $1 million buy in the #Baltimore and #Washington DC markets

It’s the latest move in a bid by #Hogan to defang #abortion-rights-centered attacks that #Democrats have wielded against #Republicans since the fall of Roe.

With Ms. #Alsobrooks’s come-from-behind victory in Tuesday’s primary, voters in November will most likely have the chance to double the number of Black women ever elected to the Senate.

Another Democrat, Representative Lisa Blunt #Rochester, is the odds-on favorite to win her party’s nomination in September for an open Senate seat in heavily Democratic Delaware.

If both win in November, for the first time, two Black women will serve in Congress’s upper chamber at the same time.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Ms. #Moseley #Braun, who became the first Black female senator when she was elected from Illinois in 1992 and now serves as chairwoman of the United States African Development Foundation.

The second, from California, is now the vice president, Kamala #Harris.
A third, Laphonza #Butler, Democrat of California, was appointed to fill a vacant seat, but is not running for re-election

The #US political #polls were proven again to be *really* wrong. (Which is great news.) #NikkiHaley received 20% of the vote in the closed #Republican primary in #Maryland, and nearly 18% of the vote in the closed #Nebraska primary. On top of that, in Maryland's #Democratic #senate primary, Angela #Alsobrooks was predicted by the polls to lose by 2% to 7%, but she *won* the primary by 12%!

Maryland Primary Election TODAY
Tuesday May 24

The Pressure Is on Democrats as Republicans look to flip Maryland seat

Republicans have a rare opportunity to flip a Senate seat in Maryland in November,
and the outcome of that race could determine control of the upper chamber.
The high stakes of the Maryland Senate election have put intense scrutiny on the state’s primaries this Tuesday.

Maryland primary voters will cast ballots in the presidential race as well as congressional elections,
and leaders of both parties will be closely watching the results of the Senate contests.
The retirement of Senator Ben Cardin has created an opening for Republicans to potentially capture a seat in a reliably Democratic state, thanks to former Republican governor Larry Hogan’s late entry into the race.

A Hogan victory would mark the first time that a Republican has won a Maryland Senate election since 1980, and it could erase Democrats’ narrow majority in the chamber.

Ten Democrats will compete for the party’s Senate nomination, but two candidates have become the clear frontrunners:
Congressman Dave #Trone
and the Prince George’s county executive Angela #Alsobrooks.

The race has historic implications, as Alsobrooks would become the first Black person elected to represent Maryland in the Senate and just the third Black woman to ever serve in the chamber.

Polls have shown Alsobrooks running neck and neck with Trone in the primary.

Trone, the owner of the beverage chain Total Wine & More, has used his personal fortune to boost his Senate campaign. According to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, Trone has already loaned $61.8m to his campaign.

Trone has pitched his ability to self-fund his campaign as a crucial asset for the general election, which has become unexpectedly competitive because of Hogan’s candidacy.

Hogan, who is expected to easily win the Republican primary, presents a formidable threat to Democrats. When Hogan left office last year, a poll conducted for Gonzales Research & Media Services showed that 77% of Marylanders, including an astounding 81% of Democrats, approved of the governor’s job performance.
Hogan’s candidacy will force Democrats to allocate resources to a Senate race that they had previously assumed would be an easy win in the general election.

In 2020, Biden beat Trump by 33 points in Maryland, but Hogan also won his 2018 re-election race by 12 points.
Polls of potential general election match-ups have produced mixed results, but both parties will almost certainly have to spend heavily to compete in the state.
The Cook Political Report currently rates the Maryland Senate race as “likely Democrat”.

Prince George’s County Executive #Angela #Alsobrooks released an ad Thursday that featured several prominent Democratic Maryland leaders endorsing her campaign for the state’s Senate seat,

where she faces Rep. David Trone in their party’s primary.

Gov. Wes Moore and Sen. Chris Van Hollen joined other members of the state’s congressional delegation in saying she was “the Democrat who will win.”

Trone leads Alsobrooks in primary polling.

Former Gov. Larry Hogan, the likely Republican nominee, leads them both in polling for the general election.

Let the 2024 election begin! I received my email ballot today for the May 14 #election. For you #Maryland folks out there - any reason I shouldn't vote for Angela #Alsobrooks ? #DMV #USpolitics . She does show up at the top of the list:)

Rep. #Maxwell #Frost (D-Fla.) on Monday endorsed Prince George’s County Executive #Angela #Alsobrooks over fellow Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) in the closely watched Democratic Senate primary in Maryland.

Frost adds to the growing divide among House Democrats, who are split in their support for Alsobrooks and for Trone ahead of the May primary.

The Democratic nominee will face a tough general election fight against former Maryland Gov. Larry #Hogan (R), the popular moderate whose late entry into the race has presented a curveball for Democrats.

“I’m supporting Angela for U.S. Senate because she’s spent her career truly listening to people and coming up with innovative solutions to benefit the community. The people closest to the problem are often closest to the solution,” Frost said in the endorsement announcement on Monday.

“Angela and I share a similar passion for people and for a society that’s safe and equal for all of us,” Frost continued.

“When she gets to the Senate, she will join me in the fight to #end #gun #violence, she will work to #expand #healthcare access so that those who are sick can get well without going broke, she will fight the climate crisis by working for a #Green #New #Deal and she will fight for #reproductive #Justice.
I’m all in with Angela because she’ll be all in for us.”

Frost’s endorsement comes days after Alsobrooks secured a high-profile endorsement from Rep. Jamie #Raskin (D-Md.).

Alsobrooks has also secured endorsements from former House Majority Leader Steny #Hoyer (D-Md.) along with the rest of the House Maryland Democratic delegation except for Trone, himself, and Rep. C.A. Dutch #Ruppersberger.

Alsobrooks also has the support of Gov. Wes #Moore (D) and Lt. Gov. Aruna #Miller (D).

#Trone, on the other hand, has garnered support from a number of high-profile Democrats nationally. House Minority Leader Hakeem #Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Whip Katherine #Clark (D-Mass.) have endorsed Trone, as have Reps. Adam #Schff (D-Calif.) and Colin #Allred (D-Texas), the leading Democratic candidates for Senate in their respective states.
