Baltimore City Mayor Brandon M. Scott is yet another big name added to the list of major endorsements for Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) in her campaign for the U.S. Senate.
“I feel really encouraged. I think that momentum is on our side and we’re going to continue building on it,” said Alsobrooks, at the Zeta Center for Healthy and Active Living in Park Heights on Nov. 28. “We’re going to continue to put every effort we can into meeting as many people as possible and really helping them to understand the message of the campaign.”
Scott joins Gov. Wes Moore, U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.-07), Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando (D-At-Large), former U.S. Senate candidate and 150 others in supporting Alsobrooks.
“We all know that Baltimore City will play a pivotal role in selecting our next United States Senator. It’s a responsibility that I, and we all, take very seriously because we know how important that relationship is to continuing progress as a city,” said Scott. “I am asking all of Baltimore to support Angela Alsobrooks, my friend, as the next United States Senator for the state of Maryland.”
Alsobrooks, if elected, would be the first African-American senator to represent Maryland in the U.S. Senate.
“When you want people to move up into elected office and really accomplish things, you will look at mayors and county executives because we’ve been where the rubber meets the road,” continued Scott. “What Maryland will be doing by sending the county executive as our senator is letting know that we’re serious about investing in education and justice. We need to be an example for the rest of the country.”
