Alsobrooks is currently a candidate for the United States Senate in the 2024 election to succeed Ben Cardin.

Early life and education

Alsobrooks was born to father James Alsobrooks, a retired newspaper distributor for The Washington Post,[1] and mother Patricia Alsobrooks (née James).[2] She was raised in Camp Springs, Maryland, and attended Benjamin Banneker High School in Washington, D.C..[3][4] Alsobrooks earned her bachelor's in public policy at Duke University in 1993, and her J.D. degree from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1996.[4][5] She was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1996.[6]

Political career

After graduating, Alsobrooks worked as a law clerk to Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge William D. Quarles Jr. until 1997,[7] when she began working as an assistant state's attorney in Prince George's County, where she was assigned to handle domestic violence cases.[5] In 2002, Alsobrooks left the state's attorney office to become education liaison for then-County Executive Jack B. Johnson. In 2003, she was appointed executive director of the county revenue authority.[4][8]

Alsobrooks first got involved in politics as an intern for House Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. She later worked on the Al Gore 2000 presidential campaign.[9] Alsobrooks was motivated to run for Prince George's state's attorney after reading a magazine profile about District Attorney of San Francisco Kamala Harris, soon after reading her book Smart on Crime.[10] Harris supported Alsobrooks' campaign for state's attorney.[11]

Prince George's State's Attorney

Alsobrooks was first elected Prince George's state's attorney in 2010 and subsequently re-elected in 2014.[3][5]

During her time in office, the violent crime rate in the county declined by 50 percent, in line with national trends.[12][13] Alsobrooks also increased prosecutions for car break-ins, vandalism, and burglaries,[14] and supported initiatives by County Executive Rushern Baker to concentrate government resources in communities struggling with social problems and to take control of the Prince George's County school system, which she accredited to a decrease in crime in the county.[15] She also created a Special Prosecutions Unit within her office to handle economic crimes, public corruption, and police misconduct cases.[16]

Alsobrooks sought and secured funding to increase the number of attorneys in the office and increased conviction rates.[17] She also worked with California Attorney General Kamala Harris to implement a program to reduce recidivism in Prince George's County, mirroring the "Back on Track" program introduced by Harris in California.[18][19]

Prince George's County Executive

Following the outgoing County Executive being term limited, Alsobrooks announced her intention to run for County Executive on July 28, 2017.[20][21] During the primary, she was endorsed by The Washington Post,[22] U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, U.S. Representatives Anthony Brown[23] and Steny Hoyer, and numerous labor unions.[24] Alsobrooks won the Democratic primary election with 61.79% of the vote,[25] defeating eight other candidates, including former Congresswoman Donna Edwards and State Senator C. Anthony Muse.[26] Alsobrooks faced Republican Jerry Mathis in the general election, who later dropped out and endorsed Alsobrooks on August 29, 2018,[27][28] allowing her to run without any formal opposition and earning 98.9% of the vote.[29] Upon election, Alsobrooks became the first woman to be elected County Executive for Prince George's County,[30] as well as the first Black woman to serve as County Executive in Maryland.[31] She was sworn in as County Executive on December 3, 2018.[32]

Alsobrooks was seen as a possible candidate for the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election,[33][34] but she instead chose to run for re-election as county executive in 2022.[35][36] She endorsed Wes Moore in the Democratic primary on March 5, 2022,[37] which was later described as "the most vital endorsement" for Moore's campaign.[38][39] In November 2022, following Moore's win in the general election, Alsobrooks was named as a co-chair on the transition teams of both Moore and Comptroller-elect Brooke Lierman.[40]

On May 9, 2023, Alsobrooks announced her candidacy in the 2024 election for the U.S. Senate from Maryland.[31] Ahead of her announcement, she made robocalls to voters to introduce herself and ask for their support.[41] If elected, Alsobrooks will be the first Black senator from Maryland, the first woman to represent Maryland in the Senate since Barbara Mikulski's retirement in 2017, and the third Black woman ever elected to the Senate.[42][43]

Personal life

Alsobrooks is a single mother,[30] giving birth to a daughter in 2005.[44][45] She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, and is active in promoting breast cancer awareness.[46] She is also a congregant at First Baptist Church of Glenarden.[47]

Political positions

COVID-19 pandemic
See also: COVID-19 pandemic in Maryland

On March 9, 2020, Alsobrooks announced that Prince George's County had recorded its first case of COVID-19.[48] Alsobrooks opened the first COVID-19 testing site in the county at FedExField on March 27, 2020.[49] Prince George's County was the county hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic,[50] with 74,704 total cases and 1,317 deaths in the county by March 2021.[51]

In May 2020, Alsobrooks expressed caution about the state's potential plans to begin easing some COVID-19-related restrictions, saying "We'll do what we can. But we're going to also make decisions that are specific and tailored to the challenges that we have met here in Prince George's, because we already know this virus has impacted us in a unique way".[52] Later that month, Alsobrooks joined almost every other county executive in sending a letter to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan warning that their jurisdictions "lack sufficient resources" to take the steps to fully reopen in the weeks ahead.[53] Alsobrooks announced on May 28, 2020, that the county would begin its "incremental opening",[54] and would form a "Prince George's Forward" task force to help the county recover from the pandemic going forward.[55][56] In November 2020, Alsobrooks announced new capacity limits at bars, gyms, and restaurants in Prince George's County amid a spike in COVID-19 cases.[57][58]

Also in May 2020, Alsobrooks provided $8 million for a county rent assistance program to assist individuals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Only $2.1 million of the funding was distributed through the program, which prompted her to re-launch the program in October 2020 with adjustments to increase groups eligible for rent relief.[59]

In January 2021, Alsobrooks announced that the county health department would cancel any vaccination appointments scheduled after February 9 as part of a "reset" after noticing that people from neighboring counties were crossing into Prince George's to get the COVID-19 vaccine.[60][61] In February 2021, she launched a "Proud to be Protected" campaign with local hospitals and non-profits to tackle vaccine misinformation and encourage residents to get vaccinated,[62] and later joined statewide efforts to do the same.[63] In May 2021, Alsobrooks joined local leaders in sending a letter to Governor Hogan encouraging him to impose a temporary statewide eviction moratorium to give local jurisdictions more time to set up rent relief programs.[64][65] In August 2021, Alsobrooks re-instated the county's indoor mask mandate following an increase in COVID-19 cases from the Delta variant.[66] The county's mask mandate was lifted on February 28, 2022.[67]

Crime and policing

During the 2013 legislative session, Alsobrooks testified for a bill to make mass violence threats a felony.[68]

In 2014, after the Maryland General Assembly voted to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, Alsobrooks formed a committee to develop a plan on how to handle marijuana-related offenses.[69] As state's attorney, she advocated for drug diversion programs that would provide treatment services to individuals charged with low-level marijuana offenses, including a program that allowed low-level drug offenders to attend Prince George's Community College and complete community service instead of serving prison sentences.[70] In November 2015, Alsobrooks controversially claimed on WAMU's The Kojo Nnamdi Show that the decriminalization of marijuana resulted in a 30 percent increase in murders in Prince George's County. A spokesperson for Alsobrooks later said that her comments were "only theories that have not yet been proven by crime statistics".[71][72]

In November 2016, Alsobrooks spoke in support of a proposed rule prohibiting prosecutors from setting a high bail on poor defendants,[73] arguing that the change would provide equal protection under the law for low-income individuals.[74]

In June 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, Alsobrooks announced that the county would forgo expanding its police training facility, instead funding a $20 million public health facility to treat mental health and addiction.[75][76] In July 2020, she established a Police Reform Task Force to come up with recommendations on public police reform.[77] In February 2021, Alsobrooks announced that the county would implement the reforms recommended by the task force, including updates to the department's use of force policy and creating a new office of integrity led by an independent inspector general.[78][79]

In March 2022, after crime in Prince George's County had hit a 15-year high, Alsobrooks proposed a $57 million increase in police funding.[80] In September 2022, she announced a 30-day juvenile curfew that charged violators with civil penalties and fines.[81][82] While it was in effect, crime decreased five percent but overall increased two percent during all hours of the day.[83] In October 2022, the curfew was extended until the end of 2022.[84]

Development initiatives

During her campaign, Alsobrooks said she would "work with the owners of the Redskins as well as with Maryland Governor Larry Hogan" to keep the Redskins stadium in Prince George's County.[85] She also opposed a proposal to build a maglev train connecting Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, describing the proposal as "outright disrespect to Prince George's County" and a "discourteous project".[86] In 2019, Alsobrooks stayed neutral on Governor Larry Hogan's proposal to take control of the federally-controlled Oxon Cove Park and Oxon Hill Farm to build a new stadium for the Redskins, saying that while the Redskins are a valued enterprise, she would not be willing to take funds from other higher priorities, such as education, public safety, health care and economic development, to keep the team from moving away.[87] In 2021, Alsobrooks proposed developing a year-round sports and entertainment venue near FedExField as an incentive to keep the Washington Football Team in Maryland.[88] During the 2022 legislative session, she supported a bill providing $400 million toward developing the entertainment venue, which was signed into law by Governor Hogan in April 2022.[89]

In February 2019, Alsobrooks introduced legislation to increase transparency on state road upkeep by publishing state schedules for upholding maintenance on state medians and litter pickup.[90]

In May 2021, Alsobrooks sent a letter to Acting Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose and Maryland Transportation Secretary Greg Slater to voice her opposition to the D.C.–Baltimore maglev proposal,[91] arguing that the construction would "tear through environmentally sensitive areas and that the 311-mile-an-hour train would cause vibrations and hurt property values".[92] In late 2021, Alsobrooks launched programs to preserve and construct mixed-use development around the Blue Line[93] and Purple Line projects.[94][95]

Alsobrooks stands and speaks at a podium with a sign saying "Build the Bureau in Maryland". She is surrounded by Democratic members from Maryland's congressional delegation and other statewide officials.
Alsobrooks speaks at a press conference to support building the new FBI Headquarters in Prince George's County, 2023.

Alsobrooks supports relocating the Federal Bureau of Investigation's headquarters in Prince George's County. In November 2022, she criticized General Services Administration criteria that she said "clearly favored Springfield, Virginia" over Prince George's County.[96] In March 2023, Alsobrooks joined Democratic members of Maryland's congressional delegation and Governor Wes Moore in co-signing a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to get involved in the FBI's headquarters selection process.[97]

In February 2023, Alsobrooks signed into law a bill to temporarily cap rent increases at 3 percent.[98] In April 2023, she expressed concerns with a bill to provide rental assistance to low-income residents, saying she wanted to wait for long-term recommendations from a housing work group.[99]

Education

During her county executive campaign, Alsobrooks said that her administration would increase investment in pre-K education, career and technology education, and infrastructure improvement projects within the county's schools,[5] with the goal of achieving universal pre-K for every child.[85][100]

Alsobrooks speaks at a press conference announcing funds for school construction, 2018

In 2019, Alsobrooks announced that Prince George's County would use public-private partnerships to build and maintain several of the county's schools,[101] making it the first jurisdiction in the United States to do so.[102] In February 2019, she spoke in support of Governor Larry Hogan's proposal to fund school construction projects in the state with revenues from casino gaming.[103] In 2020, Alsobrooks testified in favor of legislation that would allow the Maryland Stadium Authority to issue up to $2.2 billion in bonds to pay for school construction projects.[104]

During the 2020 legislative session, Alsobrooks said that she supported the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, but expressed concerns with the education reform bill's funding requirements—which would have required Prince George's County to increase its education funding by $360 million by 2030—telling legislators that she would have to defund the county's police department to pay for the proposed education reforms.[105] She also said she would not raise taxes to fund the Blueprint.[106] In response, legislators amended the bill's funding formulas to lessen its impacts on poorer areas of the state, which decreased the bill's cost to Prince George's County to $183 million by 2030.[107] In September 2021, Alsobrooks wrote to Governor Hogan to express concern that none of the nominees to the state's education reform panel lived in Prince George's County. The panel refused requests to reopen applications, waiting for clarity from the Attorney General of Maryland.[108]

In January 2021, Alsobrooks appointed former state delegate Juanita Miller as chair of the Prince George's County Board of Education.[109] After ethics charges were filed against almost all members of the Prince George's Board of Education in August 2021, Alsobrooks asked the state's top school officials to "immediately" investigate the allegations.[110] The Maryland State Board of Education said it was unable to review the ethics allegations made against the school board members, saying that the report is confidential "until accepted by the local board of education".[111] In June 2022, Alsobrooks asked Miller to resign from the school board after the Maryland State Board of Education made public two charges against her.[112][113]

In February 2022, Alsobrooks asked the Maryland General Assembly to pass legislation to allow the Prince George's County school board to return to an all-elected school board, with nine members elected by district and one student member.[114]

Electoral reform

In January 2020, Alsobrooks criticized a state law that prohibited Prince George's County politicians from taking contributions from developers with pending projects in the county, calling it "racially biased". Prince George's County was the only county in Maryland with a ban on developer contributions, which was passed in 2012 after County Executive Jack B. Johnson pleaded guilty to accepting $1 million in bribes from real estate developers.[115] She endorsed two bills to partially repeal the developer contributions ban,[116] which became law later that year.[117] During her 2018 campaign, Alsobrooks was criticized for taking donations from real estate developers and accused, without evidence, of doing "favors" for her political donors. Alsobrooks called these accusations an "evil lie", releasing a statement saying that 70 percent of her campaign's contributions had come from small donors.[118][119][120] An analysis of campaign finance records conducted by Bisnow Media showed that she had received over $50,000 in support from at least 18 real estate developers.[121]

In July 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Alsobrooks sent a letter to Governor Larry Hogan asking him to provide multiple voting options for the 2020 general election, including mail-in voting and an expansion on in-person voting locations.[122] The following day, Hogan ordered the Maryland State Board of Elections to hold full in-person elections for the general election and to send all registered voters an application for an absentee ballot.[123] In response, she requested that the state elections board consolidate the county's 229 polling places into 15 vote centers, which Hogan criticized as a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Alsobrooks responded to this criticism by accusing him of mocking the county's residents for their concerns about the spread of COVID-19.[124][125]

Immigration

In October 2012, Alsobrooks spoke against Question 4, a ballot referendum that sought to repeal Maryland's Dream Act, a bill that would extend in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.[126]

In February 2014, Alsobrooks spoke in support of a bill to limit the state's Secure Communities program by requiring Maryland jails to ignore U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests to detain illegal immigrants for up to 48 hours.[127] In June 2019, she and other Democratic county executives released a joint statement condemning planned nationwide immigration enforcement raids.[128] In November 2019, Alsobrooks signed the Act Concerning Community Inclusiveness, a bill banning local agencies from cooperating with immigration enforcement.[129][130]

Minimum wage

In 2019, Alsobrooks endorsed legislation in the Maryland General Assembly to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2023,[131] saying "[n]o one jurisdiction can achieve this on its own, because unless each city and county adopts the $15 minimum wage, it will not be a viable solution".[132]

National politics

In 2008, Alsobrooks ran for delegate to the Democratic National Convention, pledged to U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton.[9] She later served as a delegate for Clinton in 2016,[133] and for Joe Biden in 2020.[10]

Alsobrooks opposed the 2018–2019 government shutdown, calling it "wicked" and referring to President Donald Trump as "ruthless".[134] In January 2019, she announced a relief package for federal workers impacted by the shutdown, which included funds for food and rent assistance, student financial aid, and utilities.[135]

In July 2019, Alsobrooks traveled to Detroit, Michigan to lend moral support to Kamala Harris during one of the televised presidential debates, bringing her teenage daughter along.[10] In May 2020, Alsobrooks was named co-chair of the Maryland Women for Biden group, alongside State House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones, State Senate President Pro Tem Melony G. Griffith, and Maryland Democratic Party Chair Yvette Lewis.[136] Alsobrooks later attended the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20, 2021.[137]

In October 2015, Alsobrooks said she supported a bill that required Prince George's County businesses to provide employees up to seven days of paid sick leave annually.[138]

Social issues

In June 2022, Alsobrooks criticized the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, contrasting it with the court's earlier ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.[139]
