Maryland: Please support Angela Alsobrooks for US Senate

[RandomNumbers]

She is up against your former Gov, Hogan, who is usually described as "moderate" and "popular".

She is black and female. Current 538 polling report shows her only 8 points ahead and below the 50% support line. As you know, 8 points can disappear rather quickly once the bashing and trashing starts.

It would be GREAT to lock in this Senate seat with this accomplished woman.

From NPR (back in May, just after the primary, but still relevant):

... on Feb. 9, the last day of candidate filing for the primary, Hogan announced
he would seek the Republican nomination after consulting with Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnell and former President George W. Bush. The 67-year-old
popular two-term governor, portrayed as a moderate in large part because of his
criticisms of former President Donald Trump, had previously shown no interest in
the race, instead making noise about a potential presidential run.

Alsobrooks is in her second term as county executive of Prince George's County in
the Washington, D.C., suburbs. She previously served as state's attorney in the
county, which is the second largest by population in the state. If elected, the 52-
year-old Alsobrooks would be only the third Black woman ever elected to the
Senate, and the first from Maryland. She had the backing of most of the state's
Democratic establishment, including Gov. Wes Moore.

(could possibly use some cleanup - looks like some cherry-picking has been done on her positions, and citation links go to paywalled articles so they can't be checked easily)

6. Yes, I am in Maryland and support her.

Hogan has the venomous charm of a snake oil salesman. Sneaky and an absolute opportunist.

7. Agree, these days there is no such thing as "moderate" when talking about repugs.
