With early primary voting set to start on May 2, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks is hoping to become to first Black woman to represent Maryland in the U.S. Senate.

“Raised in a working-class community, my mom was a receptionist and dad was a newspaper delivery person, but they convinced me that we all had an obligation to care for our neighbors,” Alsobrooks said.

Tucked away in Largo, Maryland, the grassroots campaign team of Alsobrooks is hard at work fighting to make history in Maryland.

“In every opportunity I’ve had, whether it’s elected state’s attorney or county executive, I’ve always said, ‘I want to leave it much better than I found it’ and when I leave it, I want people to say, ‘Oh my God, what an incredible amount of work that she did and that’s what I’m interested in,” Alsobrooks said. “This is a very serious time.”
