Maryland Governor Wes Moore Endorses Angela Alsobrooks for U.S. Senate Race

Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks receives endorsement in a bid to become the state's first Black senator, jostling with Rep. David Trone in a costly race as her ally Governor Wes Moore cites world events and Maryland's influence.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has endorsed Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, stating that Maryland's leadership is needed in the country amidst changing global events.
Alsobrooks and Moore have a history of political alliance, with Alsobrooks' support having helped Moore rise to his own governorship. Now, Moore's endorsement boosts Alsobrooks' bid to become the state's first Black senator.
Alsobrooks is in a competitive race against Rep. David Trone, a business executive who has invested substantial personal wealth into the campaign. Although Trone has outspent Alsobrooks in campaign ads, top Democrats and state leaders have backed Alsobrooks.
One of Alsobrooks' competitors, Montgomery County Council member Will Jawando, recently exited the Senate race and endorsed Alsobrooks, urging Democrats to align behind her candidacy.
In addition to Moore's endorsement, Alsobrooks has received support from Congress members, state House leaders, Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball. If elected, she would be a rare Black female voice in the Senate.
