TV ad blitz launched in Maryland Senate race

A flurry of new political advertising in Maryland’s Senate race represents the first wave of an onslaught coming to voters accustomed to sleepy Senate contests. Combined, Republican Larry Hogan and Democrat Angela D. Alsobrooks have booked a record $13 million in post-primary political advertising through the end of the election, according to data by political research firm AdImpact, with the vast majority of that paid for by Hogan and GOP allies seeking to flip control of the chamber.
