Maryland voters are showing strong support for Angela Alsobrooks in her historic bid for the U.S. Senate. Recent polls reveal a commanding double-digit lead over Republican opponent Larry Hogan.
Historic Senate Race Shapes Maryland’s Political Landscape
The latest Washington Post and University of Maryland poll places Alsobrooks at 52% among likely voters. Former Governor Larry Hogan trails at 40%, while Libertarian Mike Scott holds 4% of voter support.
CDCE Director Michael Hanmer notes that “The overall margin is about the same” since September. This stability persists despite Hogan’s extensive advertising efforts.
Breaking Barriers: A Path Toward Unprecedented Representation
Alsobrooks’s campaign carries profound historical weight for Maryland and the nation. Success would make her Maryland’s first Black woman senator in the chamber’s 235-year history.
“People like me don’t make it to the Senate, but we should,” Alsobrooks declared at the Democratic National Convention. Her candidacy follows the legacy of only three Black women senators in U.S. history.
Progressive Platform Resonates with Maryland Voters
Healthcare and reproductive rights stand as cornerstone issues in Alsobrooks’s campaign. These positions have garnered substantial voter support against Hogan’s economic-focused message.
The race holds national significance as it could determine Senate party control. Alsobrooks’s strong stance on reproductive rights particularly resonates with Maryland voters.
Distinguished Public Service Record Bolsters Senate Bid
Alsobrooks brings extensive experience as Prince George’s County State’s Attorney and County Executive. Her eight-year tenure as State’s Attorney demonstrates proven leadership capabilities.
Her potential victory, alongside Delaware’s Lisa Blunt Rochester, could reshape Senate demographics. Together, they could establish unprecedented Black female representation in the chamber.
