Angela Deneece Alsobrooks (born February 23, 1971) is an American lawyer and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she was elected county executive of Prince George's County, Maryland, in 2018 after serving two terms as state's attorney for the county.

Alsobrooks is currently a candidate for the United States Senate in the 2024 election to succeed Ben Cardin.

Early life and education

Alsobrooks was born to father James Alsobrooks, who worked as a distributor for The Washington Post,[1] and mother Patricia Alsobrooks (née James).[2] She was raised in Camp Springs, Maryland, and attended Benjamin Banneker High School in Washington, D.C..[3][4] Alsobrooks earned her bachelor's in public policy at Duke University in 1993, and her J.D. degree from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1996.[4][5] She was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1996.[6]

Political career

Alsobrooks first got involved in politics while at high school, where she served in student government.[7] She later worked as an intern for House Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.[8] Alsobrooks attended the 1992 Democratic National Convention and volunteered for Democratic nominee Bill Clinton's presidential campaign after returning from it.[9] After graduating, she clerked for law firms DLA Piper and DeCaro, Doran, and for Circuit Court Judges William D. Quarles Jr. and Donna Hill Staton until 1997,[10][11] when she began working as an assistant state's attorney in Prince George's County, where she was assigned to handle domestic violence cases.[5][12] In 2000, Alsobrooks worked on the presidential campaign of Vice President Al Gore.[8] In 2002, she left the state's attorney office to become education liaison for then-County Executive Jack B. Johnson. In 2003, she was appointed executive director of the county revenue authority.[4][13]

Alsobrooks was motivated to run for Prince George's state's attorney in 2010 after reading a magazine profile about District Attorney of San Francisco Kamala Harris, soon after reading her book Smart on Crime.[14] Harris supported Alsobrooks' campaign for state's attorney.[15]

Prince George's State's Attorney

Alsobrooks was first elected Prince George's state's attorney in 2010 and subsequently re-elected in 2014.[3][5]

As state's attorney, Alsobrooks took what was seen as a tough-on-crime approach while also supporting a rehabiliative approach for juveniles in the criminal justice system.[16] During her time in office, the violent crime rate in the county declined by 50 percent, in line with national trends.[17][18] Alsobrooks also increased prosecutions for car break-ins, vandalism, and burglaries,[19] and personally prosecuted Richmond Phillips, who was sentenced to life without parole for killing his mistress and their daughter;[20] and Daron Boswell-Johnson, who was sentenced to two life sentences after killing his two-year-old daughter and her mother.[21] She supported initiatives by County Executive Rushern Baker to concentrate government resources in communities struggling with social problems and to take control of the Prince George's County school system, which she accredited to a decrease in crime in the county.[22] She also created a Special Prosecutions Unit within her office to handle economic crimes, public corruption, and police misconduct cases.[23]

Alsobrooks sought and secured funding to increase the number of attorneys in the office and increased conviction rates.[24] She also divided her office's prosecutors into the county's six police districts to handle cases specific to each region, and concentrated on addressing quality-of-life concerns, discouraging truancy, and increasing social services.[25] Alsobrooks worked with California Attorney General Kamala Harris to implement a program to reduce recidivism in Prince George's County, mirroring the "Back on Track" program introduced by Harris in California.[26][27]

Prince George's County Executive

Following the outgoing County Executive being term limited, Alsobrooks announced her intention to run for County Executive on July 28, 2017.[28][29] Her platform included increasing education funding, expanding the commercial tax base, and improving public safety by increasing police hires.[12] During the primary, Alsobrooks was endorsed by The Washington Post,[30] U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, U.S. Representatives Anthony Brown[31] and Steny Hoyer, and numerous labor unions.[32]

Alsobrooks won the Democratic primary election with 61.8 percent of the vote,[33] defeating eight other candidates, including former Congresswoman Donna Edwards and state senator C. Anthony Muse.[34] She faced Republican Jerry Mathis in the general election, who later dropped out and endorsed Alsobrooks on August 29, 2018,[35][36] allowing her to run without any formal opposition and earning 98.9 percent of the vote in the general election.[37] Upon election, Alsobrooks became the first woman to be elected County Executive for Prince George's County,[38] as well as the first Black woman to serve as County Executive in Maryland.[39] She was sworn in on December 3, 2018.[40]

Alsobrooks was seen as a possible candidate for the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election,[41][42] but she instead chose to run for re-election as county executive in 2022.[43][44] She endorsed Wes Moore in the Democratic primary on March 5, 2022,[45] which was later described as "the most vital endorsement" for Moore's campaign.[46][47] In November 2022, following Moore's win in the general election, Alsobrooks was named as a co-chair on the transition teams of both Moore and Comptroller-elect Brooke Lierman.[48]

During her tenure as county executive, Alsobrooks faced criticism from Latino officials for not appointing a single person of Hispanic descent to her 39-member cabinet, despite Latinos making up 21.2 percent of the county's population.[49][50] In statements to The Washington Post, she acknowledged that more could be done to include Latinos in her government, and members of her office said that the administration often does not receive Latino applicants for appointable positions.[51] Alsobrooks would appoint Manuel Castillo as chief information security officer following this criticism, and would later claim that Latino representation in the county's workforce had increased from 6 percent to 23 percent during her tenure.[52]

2024 U.S. Senate campaign

On May 9, 2023, Alsobrooks announced her candidacy in the 2024 election for the U.S. Senate from Maryland.[39] If elected, Alsobrooks would be the first Black senator from Maryland, the first woman to represent Maryland in the Senate since Barbara Mikulski's retirement in 2017, and the third Black woman ever elected to the Senate.[53][54]

During the Democratic primary, Alsobrooks was viewed by media outlets as an early frontrunner,[55][56] receiving several high-profile endorsements from the Maryland Democratic political establishment early into her candidacy, including from Chris Van Hollen,[57] Steny Hoyer,[58] Wes Moore,[59] and multiple state legislators and county executives.[39][60][61] The Democratic primary quickly developed into a contest between money and endorsements,[62] with Alsobrooks receiving the most individual donations[63] while her closest competitor, David Trone, largely self-financed his campaign with $9.7 million and outspent Alsobrooks 10-to-1 as of the third quarter 2023.[64]

Political positions

COVID-19 pandemic

On March 9, 2020, Alsobrooks announced that Prince George's County had recorded its first case of COVID-19.[65] She soon ordered the closing of all county buildings[66] and opened the first COVID-19 testing site in the county at FedExField on March 27, 2020.[67] Prince George's County was the county hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic,[68] with 74,704 total cases and 1,317 deaths in the county by March 2021.[69]

In May 2020, Alsobrooks expressed caution about the state's potential plans to begin easing some COVID-19-related restrictions, saying "We'll do what we can. But we're going to also make decisions that are specific and tailored to the challenges that we have met here in Prince George's, because we already know this virus has impacted us in a unique way".[70] Later that month, Alsobrooks provided $8 million for a county rent assistance program to assist individuals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[71] She also joined almost every other county executive in sending a letter to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan warning that their jurisdictions "lack sufficient resources" to take the steps to fully reopen in the weeks ahead.[72] Alsobrooks announced on May 28, 2020, that the county would begin its "incremental opening",[73] and would form a "Prince George's Forward" task force to help the county recover from the pandemic going forward.[74][75] The county entered its second phase of reopening on June 15, 2020.[76]

In July 2020, following an increase in cases in the county, Alsobrooks created the COVID-19 Ambassador Compliance Team to make sure establishments followed the county's COVID-19-related restrictions.[77] As cases continued to increase, she initially declined to implement any new restrictions[78] before setting a 50-person limit on social gatherings the following day.[79] In September 2020, Alsobrooks declined to move into phase three of reopening, pointing out that 13 ZIP codes in the county had a positivity rate of five percent or higher.[80] In November 2020, Alsobrooks announced new capacity limits at bars, gyms, and restaurants in Prince George's County amid a spike in COVID-19 cases.[81][82]

In January 2021, Alsobrooks announced that the county health department would cancel any vaccination appointments scheduled after February 9 as part of a "reset" after noticing that people from neighboring counties were crossing into Prince George's to get the COVID-19 vaccine.[83][84] In February 2021, she launched a "Proud to be Protected" campaign with local hospitals and non-profits to tackle vaccine misinformation and encourage residents to get vaccinated,[85] and later joined statewide efforts to do the same.[86] In May 2021, Alsobrooks lifted most of the county's COVID-19 restrictions, citing a decline in COVID-19 cases.[87] She also joined local leaders in sending a letter to Governor Hogan encouraging him to impose a temporary statewide eviction moratorium to give local jurisdictions more time to set up rent relief programs.[88][89] In August 2021, Alsobrooks re-instated the county's indoor mask mandate following an increase in COVID-19 cases from the Delta variant.[90] The county's mask mandate was lifted on February 28, 2022.[91]

Crime and policing

Alsobrooks testifies in support of legislation to protect domestic violence victims, 2014

During her tenure as state's attorney, Alsobrooks said she opposed removing school resource officers from public schools in Prince George's County. She also sought harsh sentences for juveniles who committted violent crimes, and supported increasing minimum sentences for people convicted of illegal gun possession.[16]

In one of her first cases as state's attorney in February 2011, Alsobrooks sought the death penalty against Darrell Lynn Bellard, who had killed four people, including two children, in Prince George's County.[92][93] After Governor Martin O'Malley signed a bill banning the death penalty into law in 2013, she withdrew her death penalty notice and instead sought a sentence of life without parole.[94] Alsobrooks did not say whether she supported attempts to place a ballot initiative on the 2014 ballot to overturn the death penalty repeal, but said that she would consider seeking the death penalty if it were available.[95] Bellard was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences on June 27, 2014.[96] In December 2023, Alsobrooks told MoCo360 that she did not support reinstating the death penalty and would support repealing it on the federal level if elected to the Senate.[97]

In 2012, Alsobrooks said she opposed the Maryland Court of Appeals' ruling in Maryland v. King, which held that collecting cheek swabs from arrested individuals violates their Fourth Amendment rights.[98] When asked by The Intercept if she still supported collecting DNA information from arrestees, a spokesperson for Alsobrooks said that collecting these records is a "valuable tool" in prosecuting violent criminals. During the 2023 legislative session, Alsobrooks testified against a bill that would increase privacy restrictions on the collection of biometric data by police.[16]

During the 2013 legislative session, Alsobrooks testified for a bill to make mass violence threats a felony, which was introduced following threats were sent to Laurel High School and the University of Maryland, College Park,[99][100] and another bill to require police and healthcare workers to report threats of abuse.[101] She also supported a bill to increase sentences for crimes committed around minors.[102]

In 2014, after the Maryland General Assembly voted to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, Alsobrooks formed a committee to develop a plan on how to handle marijuana-related offenses.[103] As state's attorney, she advocated for drug diversion programs that would provide treatment services to individuals charged with low-level marijuana offenses, including a program that allowed low-level drug offenders to attend Prince George's Community College and complete community service instead of serving prison sentences.[104] In November 2015, Alsobrooks controversially claimed on WAMU's The Kojo Nnamdi Show that the decriminalization of marijuana resulted in a 30 percent increase in murders in Prince George's County.[16] A spokesperson for Alsobrooks later said that her comments were "only theories that have not yet been proven by crime statistics".[105][106]

During the 2015 legislative session, Alsobrooks said she supported the Second Chance Act, which allowed for the expungement of certain nonviolent misdemeanor convictions, including disorderly conduct, trespassing, and theft of less than $1,000.[107]

In November 2016, Alsobrooks spoke in support of a proposed rule prohibiting prosecutors from setting a high bail on poor defendants,[108] arguing that the change would provide equal protection under the law for low-income individuals.[109] In 2017, she opposed a bill that would set new standards for pretrial releases and increase the use of cash bail.[110] During her 2018 county executive campaign, Alsobrooks said she supported abolishing cash bail.[111]

During the 2018 legislative session, Alsobrooks testified in support of bills to make mandatory reporters liable for unreported child neglect,[112] to make contract killing a felony,[113] and to require domestic violence offenders to surrender their firearms.[114]

In June 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, Alsobrooks announced that the county would forgo expanding its police training facility, instead funding a $20 million public health facility to treat mental health and addiction.[115][116] She also condemned a video showing county police officers throwing down and kicking an individual at a Langley Park gas station as "disgusting" and said the officers involved should be fired, and called for reform of Maryland's Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights.[117] In July 2020, Alsobrooks established a Police Reform Task Force to come up with recommendations on public police reform.[118] In February 2021, Alsobrooks announced that the county would implement the reforms recommended by the task force, including updates to the department's use of force policy and creating a new office of integrity led by an independent inspector general.[119][120]

In March 2022, after crime in Prince George's County had hit a 15-year high, Alsobrooks proposed a $57 million increase in police funding[121] and created a task force to intervene in and prevent violent crimes among juveniles.[122] In September 2022, she announced a 30-day juvenile curfew that charged violators with civil penalties and fines.[123][124] While it was in effect, crime decreased five percent but overall increased two percent during all hours of the day.[125] In October 2022, the curfew was extended until the end of 2022.[126]

In June 2023, Alsobrooks issued her first-ever veto to an amendment to the county's $5.4 billion budget, which increased funding for the county's Emerging Adults Program, a program to reduce recidivism in young people, by $250,000.[127] She said her decision to veto the youth program funding was "strictly a budget decision", explaining that she had to optimize spending while not raising taxes as the county dealt with a potential $60 million budget shortfall.[128]

Development initiatives

During her campaign, Alsobrooks said she would "work with the owners of the Redskins as well as with Maryland Governor Larry Hogan" to keep the Redskins stadium in Prince George's County.[129] In 2019, Alsobrooks stayed neutral on Governor Larry Hogan's proposal to take control of the federally-controlled Oxon Cove Park and Oxon Hill Farm to build a new stadium for the Redskins, saying that while the Redskins are a valued enterprise, she would not be willing to take funds from other higher priorities, such as education, public safety, health care and economic development, to keep the team from moving away.[130] In 2021, Alsobrooks proposed developing a year-round sports and entertainment venue near FedExField as an incentive to keep the Washington Football Team in Maryland.[131] During the 2022 legislative session, she supported a bill providing $400 million toward developing the entertainment venue, which was signed into law by Governor Hogan in April 2022.[132]

Alsobrooks opposed a proposal to build a maglev train connecting Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, describing the proposal as "outright disrespect to Prince George's County" and a "discourteous project".[133] In May 2021, she sent a letter to Acting Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose and Maryland Transportation Secretary Greg Slater to voice her opposition to the D.C.–Baltimore maglev proposal,[134] arguing that the construction would "tear through environmentally sensitive areas" and that the 311-mile-an-hour train would cause vibrations and hurt property values.[135] In late 2021, Alsobrooks launched programs to preserve and construct mixed-use development around the Blue Line[136] and Purple Line projects.[137][138] In July 2023, Alsobrooks said she supported restarting the Red Line in Baltimore.[7]

In February 2019, Alsobrooks introduced legislation to increase transparency on state road upkeep by publishing state schedules for upholding maintenance on state medians and litter pickup.[139]

Alsobrooks stands and speaks at a podium with a sign saying "Build the Bureau in Maryland". She is surrounded by Democratic members from Maryland's congressional delegation and other statewide officials.

Alsobrooks supports relocating the Federal Bureau of Investigation's headquarters in Prince George's County. In November 2022, she criticized General Services Administration criteria that she said "clearly favored Springfield, Virginia" over Prince George's County.[140] In March 2023, Alsobrooks joined Democratic members of Maryland's congressional delegation and Governor Wes Moore in co-signing a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to get involved in the FBI's headquarters selection process.[141] In November 2023, the General Services Administration announced that it would locate the FBI's new headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland.[142]

In February 2023, Alsobrooks signed into law a bill to temporarily cap rent increases at 3 percent.[143] In April 2023, she expressed concerns with a bill to provide rental assistance to low-income residents, saying she wanted to wait for long-term recommendations from a housing work group.[144]

In June 2023, Alsobrooks said she opposed a bill to place a two-year moratorium on new townhouse developments in commercial areas and areas surrounding Metro stations, which she claimed would "discourage investment from businesses".[145][146] In October 2023, she expressed concerns with a proposal to limit new building permits annually issued by the county until 2029.[147]

Education

During her county executive campaign, Alsobrooks said that her administration would increase investment in pre-K education, career and technology education, and infrastructure improvement projects within the county's schools,[5] with the goal of achieving universal pre-K for every child.[129][148]

Alsobrooks speaks at a press conference announcing funds for school construction, 2018

In 2019, Alsobrooks announced that Prince George's County would use public-private partnerships to build and maintain several of the county's schools,[149] making it the first jurisdiction in the United States to do so.[150] In February 2019, she spoke in support of Governor Larry Hogan's proposal to fund school construction projects in the state with revenues from casino gaming.[151] In 2020, Alsobrooks testified in favor of legislation that would allow the Maryland Stadium Authority to issue up to $2.2 billion in bonds to pay for school construction projects.[152]

During the 2020 legislative session, Alsobrooks said that she supported the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, but expressed concerns with the education reform bill's funding requirements—which would have required Prince George's County to increase its education funding by $360 million by 2030—telling legislators that she would have to defund the county's police department to pay for the proposed education reforms.[153] She also said she would not raise taxes to fund the Blueprint.[154] In response, legislators amended the bill's funding formulas to lessen its impacts on poorer areas of the state, which decreased the bill's cost to Prince George's County to $183 million by 2030.[155] In September 2021, Alsobrooks wrote to Governor Hogan to express concern that none of the nominees to the state's education reform panel lived in Prince George's County. The panel refused requests to reopen applications, waiting for clarity from the Attorney General of Maryland.[156] In September 2023, she said she would support giving counties increased oversight over education spending amid the Blueprint's implementation.[157]

In January 2021, Alsobrooks appointed former state delegate Juanita Miller as chair of the Prince George's County Board of Education.[158] After ethics charges were filed against almost all members of the Prince George's Board of Education in August 2021, Alsobrooks asked the state's top school officials to "immediately" investigate the allegations.[159] The Maryland State Board of Education said it was unable to review the ethics allegations made against the school board members, saying that the report is confidential "until accepted by the local board of education".[160] In June 2022, Alsobrooks asked Miller to resign from the school board after the Maryland State Board of Education made public two charges against her.[161][162]

In February 2022, Alsobrooks asked the Maryland General Assembly to pass legislation to allow the Prince George's County school board to return to an all-elected school board, with nine members elected by district and one student member.[163]

Electoral reform

In January 2020, Alsobrooks criticized a state law that prohibited Prince George's County politicians from taking contributions from developers with pending projects in the county, calling it "racially biased". Prince George's County was the only county in Maryland with a ban on developer contributions, which was passed in 2012 after County Executive Jack B. Johnson pleaded guilty to accepting $1 million in bribes from real estate developers.[164] She endorsed two bills to partially repeal the developer contributions ban,[165] which became law later that year.[166] During her 2018 campaign, Alsobrooks was criticized for taking donations from real estate developers and accused, without evidence, of doing "favors" for her political donors. Alsobrooks called these accusations an "evil lie", releasing a statement saying that 70 percent of her campaign's contributions had come from small donors.[167][168][169] An analysis of campaign finance records conducted by Bisnow Media showed that she had received over $50,000 in support from at least 18 real estate developers.[170] During her 2024 U.S. Senate campaign, Alsobrooks received a significant amount of contributions from real estate and development companies in Prince George's County and Washington, D.C.[171]

In July 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Alsobrooks sent a letter to Governor Larry Hogan asking him to provide multiple voting options for the 2020 general election, including mail-in voting and an expansion on in-person voting locations.[172] The following day, Hogan ordered the Maryland State Board of Elections to hold full in-person elections for the general election and to send all registered voters an application for an absentee ballot.[173] In response, she requested that the state elections board consolidate the county's 229 polling places into 15 vote centers, which Hogan criticized as a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Alsobrooks responded to this criticism by accusing him of mocking the county's residents for their concerns about the spread of COVID-19.[174][175]

During her 2024 U.S. Senate campaign, Alsobrooks indicated that she would support extending voting rights to undocumented immigrants and 16-year-olds.[176]

Gun control

During the 2013 legislative session, Alsobrooks testified in support of the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, a bill that placed restrictions on firearm purchases and magazine capacity in semi-automatic rifles.[177]

Immigration

In October 2012, Alsobrooks spoke against Question 4, a ballot referendum that sought to repeal Maryland's Dream Act, a bill that would extend in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.[178]

In February 2014, Alsobrooks spoke in support of a bill to limit the state's Secure Communities program by requiring Maryland jails to ignore U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requests to detain illegal immigrants for up to 48 hours.[179] In June 2019, she and other Democratic county executives released a joint statement condemning planned nationwide immigration enforcement raids.[180] In November 2019, Alsobrooks signed the Act Concerning Community Inclusiveness, a bill banning local agencies from cooperating with immigration enforcement.[181][182]

In June 2019, Alsobrooks signed into law a bill prohibiting county police departments from working with ICE in noncriminal deportation cases.[183]

In December 2023, Alsobrooks said she would support comprehensive immigration reform if elected to the U.S. Senate,[184] as well as creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.[176]

Israel

Alsobrooks supports Israel's "right to defend itself", and has described herself as an ally toward maintaining the U.S.-Israel relationship, including supporting providing the country with funding and military assistance.[185] She supports a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[186] In 2019, Alsobrooks traveled to Israel with other local elected officials on an American Israel Education Foundation trip.[185]

In October 2023, Alsobrooks expressed support for Israel in the Israel–Hamas war and spoke out against hate crimes against Jewish and Muslim people.[187] In January 2024, she told Jewish Insider that she supported a ceasefire in the war alongside the release of hostages held by Hamas.[186]

Minimum wage

In 2019, Alsobrooks endorsed legislation in the Maryland General Assembly to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2023,[188] saying "[n]o one jurisdiction can achieve this on its own, because unless each city and county adopts the $15 minimum wage, it will not be a viable solution".[189]

National politics

In 2008, Alsobrooks ran for delegate to the Democratic National Convention, pledged to U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton.[8] She supported Democratic nominee Barack Obama following the convention.[190] Alsobrooks later served as a delegate for Clinton in 2016,[191] and for Joe Biden in 2020.[14] In July 2019, she traveled to Detroit, Michigan to lend moral support to Kamala Harris during one of the televised presidential debates, bringing her teenage daughter along.[14] In May 2020, Alsobrooks was named co-chair of the Maryland Women for Biden group, alongside State House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones, State Senate President Pro Tem Melony G. Griffith, and Maryland Democratic Party Chair Yvette Lewis.[192] Alsobrooks later attended the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20, 2021.[193]

Alsobrooks opposed the 2018–2019 government shutdown, calling it "wicked" and referring to President Donald Trump as "ruthless".[194] In January 2019, she announced a relief package for federal workers impacted by the shutdown, which included funds for food and rent assistance, student financial aid, and utilities.[195] Following the January 6 United States Capitol attack, Alsobrooks condemned the role of Trump and other lawmakers in inciting the attack.[196]

In October 2015, Alsobrooks said she supported a bill that required Prince George's County businesses to provide employees up to seven days of paid sick leave annually.[197]

Social issues

Alsobrooks supported the Civil Marriage Protection Act, which legalized same-sex marriage in Maryland in 2012, and opposed Question 6. She has also criticized anti-trans laws passed in Republican states and national efforts to "undermine equality and promote discrimination" against LGBT individuals.[198] In June 2023, Alsobrooks hired the county's first government liaison to the LGBTQ community. Later that month, she became the first county executive to fly the Progress Pride flag over county government buildings.[199]

In February 2019, after it was reported that state delegate Mary Ann Lisanti had described a district in Prince George's County as a "n----- district" in a conversation with another legislator, Alsobrooks described her comments as "disturbing and offensive" and invited her to come to the county.[200] She later called on Lisanti to resign from the Maryland House of Delegates.[201]

In June 2022, Alsobrooks criticized the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, contrasting it with the court's earlier ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.[202] During her 2024 U.S. Senate campaign, she promised to immediately cosponsor the Women's Health Protection Act, which would overturn the Dobbs decision, and said she would not support and judicial nominee who opposes abortion rights.[203]

In April 2023, Alsobrooks said she agreed with proposals to create a $2 million universal basic income pilot program in Prince George's County, but expressed concerns with its funding due to the county facing tight budget constraints.[204] The $4 million pilot program, which was funded using a public-private partnership and provided $800 monthly payments to 125 seniors over a two year span, was unanimously passed by the county council and launched in November.[205]

Personal life

Alsobrooks is a single mother,[38] giving birth to a daughter in 2005.[206][207] She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, and is active in promoting breast cancer awareness.[208] She is also a congregant at First Baptist Church of Glenarden.[209]

Alsobrooks was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when she was eight years old, which led to her attending youth theater programs at Howard University.[9][210]
