Angela Alsobrooks spent decades building a resume — and a network — for a Senate run

Angela Alsobrooks says she has spent the last 27 years preparing for this moment. A Democrat in her second term leading Maryland’s second-largest county, Alsobrooks — the first woman and Black woman elected to the position — said her life’s work has culminated in this: a bid for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat. Dozens of Democrats have lined up to endorse her, including the state party’s leader, Gov. Wes Moore. (Photo: Kirk McKoy/The Baltimore Banner)
