Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D) endorsed at-large Prince George’s County council member Calvin Hawkins (D) for her old county executive seat Friday, putting her political clout behind a candidate known for his story of redemption.
The endorsement comes as a boost for Hawkins in a competitive race packed with well-known political names in Prince George’s. Hawkins is up against county state’s attorney Aisha Braveboy (D), at-large council member Jolene Ivey (D), former county executive Rushern Baker III (D) and Maryland state senator Alonzo T. Washington (D).
“I am proud to support Calvin Hawkins to be the next County Executive of Prince George’s County,” Alsobrooks said in a statement shared with The Washington Post. “Calvin is a lifelong Prince Georgian who understands the people of our county, their needs, and their values.”
