Hogan, Alsobrooks to face off Thursday in only scheduled debate of high-stakes Senate contest

Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and Republican Larry Hogan will meet Thursday in the only scheduled debate in a U.S. Senate contest competitive enough to attract attention and heavyweight donors from both national parties. In a state in which registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2-1, Alsobrooks enters the debate at Maryland Public Television in Owings Mills leading Hogan by 48% to 39%, according to a UMBC poll released Wednesday that surveyed likely Maryland voters late last month.
