Angela Alsobrooks Wins Historic Maryland Senate Race

Alsobrooks becomes the first Black woman to represent Maryland in the Senate, defeating former Governor Larry Hogan in a highly competitive race.

Angela Alsobrooks' victory marks the first time Maryland will have a Black senator, alongside its first Black governor and mayor of Baltimore.
The race was one of the most expensive in Maryland's history, with both parties pouring millions into the campaign.
Larry Hogan, a popular two-term Republican governor, faced challenges due to his association with the national GOP and Donald Trump.
Alsobrooks' campaign focused on maintaining Democratic control of the Senate and emphasized issues like abortion rights.
The election results contribute to a historic increase in representation, with two Black women now serving in the U.S. Senate.
