Support for the entire Democratic ticket was expressed by all attendees including Democratic leaders.

“We must unite behind Angela Alsobrooks,“ said Congressman David Trone. “We’ve got to come together, it’s bigger than us.”

“Marylanders are fired up – and we’re not done yet,” said County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. “Larry Hogan is a lifelong Republican who would caucus with the Republican Party to move us backward.”

“We stand united behind Angela Alsobrooks.“ said Governor Wes Moore. “Angela Alsobrooks is a champion for a woman’s right to choose and has spent her career making Maryland a safe haven for reproductive health care.“

“Angela Alsobrooks has our full support!” said Senator Ben Cardin. “It is so important to preserve our senate majority. We are talking about the Supreme Court. We are talking about democracy. We are talking about a woman’s right to choose. We are talking about labor rights.”

“Angela Alsobrooks is an amazing public servant and will be an outstanding U.S. Senator,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen. “We know that, by standing together, Angela will defeat Larry Hogan in November and make sure the MAGA Republicans do not seize control of the Senate. I know that Angela will be a great partner in the Senate so we can build upon the legacy of Senator Ben Cardin in the fight for Marylanders’ freedoms and values.”
