Hoyer endorses Prince George’s county executive for Senate

Long-serving Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) on Thursday backed Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks (D) for Senate, offering a weighty endorsement in a growing field of contenders. “I ask all Marylanders to join me in sending a strong, experienced and compelling voice to the United States Senate — someone who looks like the state and country she serves,” Hoyer told a crowd in Suitland, touting Alsobrooks’s experience and emphasizing the history she would make as Maryland’s first Black senator.
