A highly contested Senate primary in Maryland is pushing Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks into the spotlight. She will take on former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in November’s general election.
Alsobrooks beat U.S. Rep. David Trone with 54% of the vote across the state. She did exceptionally well in her home county, with 72% of ballots there cast for the county executive.
She also edged out Trone in highly populated counties spanning the middle of the state. Alsobrooks narrowly won part of Trone’s home base, walking away with 50% of Democrats’ votes in Montgomery County — the northern portion of the county is in District 6, which Trone represents.
She also did well in Baltimore City and Baltimore, Howard, Charles and Anne Arundel counties. She won at least 50% of the votes in each of those counties, with a high of 64% in Charles County.
