Gov. Wes Moore and U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen — doubling down on their support for Angela Alsobrooks in the hotly contested Democratic primary for U.S. Senate — are leading a new star-studded television ad aimed at highlighting her endorsements from top Maryland officials.
The governor is also scheduled to headline a large fundraiser for the two-term Prince George’s County executive Tuesday in Baltimore — underscoring the push to elevate both Alsobrooks’ bank account and name recognition in the final sprint before the May 14 primary.
“We’re all supporting Angela because we know her record and we believe in her vision,” Moore says in the 30-second TV spot launching Thursday in both the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., media markets. In another radio-only ad launched by the campaign this week, Moore says Alsobrooks “has been a partner every step of the way” in efforts to reduce homicides, spend more in public education and protect reproductive rights.
Alsobrooks has trailed U.S. Rep. David Trone in independent polls, including by 19 percentage points in a recent poll from The Baltimore Sun, FOX45 and the University of Baltimore. Still, she’s maintained the largely two-way race is a “statistical tie.”
