Out-of-state billionaires are funneling millions into Maryland to flip control of the Senate to Republicans
Maryland leaders are blasting Republican Larry Hogan’s super PAC for blanketing the state’s airwaves with mean-spirited, deceptive advertisements about Democrat Angela Alsobrooks’ record. Hogan and his super PAC, Maryland’s Future, is heavily bankrolled by GOP mega donors, billionaire Trump supporters, and Project 2025 authors who want to flip control of the U.S. Senate to Republicans.

“Representing the people of Maryland in the United States Senate is a special responsibility. I’m proud to have served as senator for nearly 18 years. As others step up to fill this seat, it’s important that the focus remains on Marylanders and the issues they care about most,” said Senator Ben Cardin. “What we do not need are mean-spirited, MAGA-laden ads from entities only intent on tearing down candidates with ugly innuendo. If Larry Hogan truly rejects Trumpism, he needs to reject all of it. He cannot preach civility and accept such degenerate support. I’ve watched Angela throughout this campaign. She has never lost sight of who she’s fighting for – the people of Maryland. That’s why I know she will be a thoughtful and dedicated United States Senator for Maryland.”
“Angela Alsobrooks has been an incredible leader for Prince George’s County and will be an incredible leader for all of Maryland in the Senate,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen. “The recent super pac ad is another attempt to distract voters from the real issues and flood our airwaves with disgusting attacks. While it’s disappointing to see her opponent’s supporters stoop to such lows, it’s no surprise when they are funded by MAGA Republicans that want control of the Senate. That’s why they are spending millions of dollars on reprehensible ads to elect Mitch McConnell’s most prized recruit, Larry Hogan.”
“We’re talking about the measure of disappointment that many people have all across the state for the kind of campaign that’s been run by the former governor. And I get it because I know I’ve heard it. I’ve heard the frustrations about the ads and the mistruths,” said Governor Wes Moore at a press conference this morning. “Do not believe the commercials from out-of-state billionaires, because they are not true. Angela is the one. Angela is the candidate for this moment, and Angela is the person who I will continue to fight for to make sure that she is my partner in the congressional delegation as we continue to do big things for the people of this state.”
“Alas, I’m used to these types of vicious attacks from MAGA in Congress. But it still hurts to see it happening in Maryland. Like Elijah Cummings used to say, we’re better than this. I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, we should all reject this toxic pollution of the political environment,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin. “I’m proud Angela is running a campaign on substance that Marylanders can be proud of. I’ve been on the trail with her throughout the campaign and it’s been a joy to see how she connects with our people across the state. I can’t wait for her to bring that energy with her to the United States Senate.”
