Angela Alsobrooks makes history as Maryland’s first Black Senator

November 6, 2024
The United States Capitol Rotunda

Maryland voters made history on Tuesday, voting to send Angela Alsobrooks to Washington as the first Black woman to represent the state in the U.S. Senate. In the nation’s history, only two Black women had ever been elected to the Senate before, with one other who was appointed — a tally that was boosted significantly with the victories of Alsobrooks in Maryland and Lisa Blunt Rochester in neighboring Delaware.
