Do not underestimate fearless Angela Alsobrooks

If Angela Alsobrooks could be intimidated by money or polls, the 53-year-old Prince George’s County executive might have decided running for statewide office was not for her. If she cared that Maryland usually draws its U.S. senators from its delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, the former prosecutor might have at least had second thoughts. And if she had noticed that the state has never elected a person of color to the U.S. Senate, let alone a Black woman, she might have been just plain scared off. (Photo: Cassidy Jensen/Staff)
