HRC endorses Angela Alsobrooks
The Human Rights Campaign has endorsed Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks in the race to succeed retiring U.S.
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.). HRC President Kelley Robinson in a statement that Alsobrooks’s campaign released on Tuesday said Alsobrooks “has always been a champion for equality and freedom, from her support for the state law that legalized same-sex marriage in 2012, to becoming the first Maryland county executive to authorize flying the Progress Pride flag over county buildings, and much more.” “With everything at stake and democracy itself hanging in the balance, Marylanders deserve that kind of champion,” said Robinson.
Alsobrooks said she is “very honored to earn the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign.” “In the U.S. Senate, I will always stand up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans and make sure we have a future where our freedoms are always protected,” she said.
Alsobrooks in May defeated Congressman David Trone in the Democratic primary for Cardin’s seat. She will face off against former Maryland Gov.
