Angela Alsobrooks Supports Kamala Harris for Unity

At the Democratic National Convention, party leaders are rallying support for Vice President Kamala Harris as she prepares for the upcoming presidential election in November. In an interview with ABC News, Maryland's Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks praised Harris for fostering unity within the Democratic Party. "She is absolutely the leader of our party," Alsobrooks stated, highlighting the refreshing cross-generational support Harris has garnered. Alsobrooks emphasized the stark contrast between Harris' "positive" vision for America and the "hatred and division" associated with former President Donald Trump's administration. She believes voters are eager to move past Trump and focus on a future that embodies innovation and American ideals. "We're talking about our imagination again," Alsobrooks remarked, asserting that these themes resonate with the electorate and will drive support for Harris. The campaign is particularly focused on mobilizing young voters, who Alsobrooks believes will turn out to support Harris on key issues such as women's rights, voting rights, climate change, and gun violence prevention. As Alsobrooks campaigns against former Governor Larry Hogan in Maryland, she underscores the significance of this election for the Democratic majority in the Senate. Highlighting the Senate's critical role in shaping national policy, Alsobrooks stated, "This election is about the future and it's also about democracy." Her campaign is centered on economic growth, healthcare access, job creation, affordable housing, and women's rights, aiming to resonate with Maryland voters as the election approaches.
