Angela Alsobrooks makes a bid for Maryland's U.S. Senate seat

Prince George's County executive Angela Alsobrooks is vying for a Senate seat in Maryland and hoping she makes history as the first Black woman to represent the state.

CHESTERTOWN, Md. — Angela Alsobrooks was nearing the end of another busy campaign push in late July, sweeping through four counties in two days.

Alsobrook, the Democratic Senate candidate in Maryland, shook hands and took selfie after selfie in near 100-degree heat. She stopped at a locally owned unisex hair salon and visited a clothing drive for children in foster care. 

Alsobrooks also spent some time on the docks of a marina meeting with watermen and women from the Chesapeake Bay region, who are the lifeblood of the state’s seafaring culture and economy.

During her final campaign stop in the area, sea captain Tyrone Meredith offered her a tour of his fishing and charter boat, Island Queen II.
