Meet Angela Alsobrooks
Angela Alsobrooks is another partisan machine politician who is part of the broken system and doesn’t deliver on her promises. We can’t afford a leader like Larry Hogan who might offend his colleagues by daring to be independent and actually work across the aisle to get things done. Send her to Washington because she will fit right in!
Under Angela’s leadership in Prince George’s County, crime has increased to out-of-control levels, schools are declining, the budget deficit is skyrocketing, and the county’s financial outlook has been downgraded. Whether it’s a lack of funding for police and firefighters or even just picking up the trash, Angela’s administration has taken swift action by failing to deliver on even the most basic of government functions. But, then again, so has Washington. With your help, she can prove there is nothing that can’t be excused away by blaming others.
Whether it’s a lack of funding for our police and firefighters or even just picking up the trash, Angela has not delivered on even the most basic of government functions.
Under Angela's leadership of Prince George’s County, public safety was underfunded and crime skyrocketed. She will take that same approach to Washington by eliminating common-sense policies that keep Marylanders safe.
- In 2020, amid calls to Defund the Police, Angela redirected $20 million in funding from a new police training facility. Three years after Angela took funding away from the police training facility, the Prince George’s County Police Department is severely understaffed, with the latest report estimating that the department needs around 300 more officers than it currently has to patrol the streets and keep communities safe.

Homicides
Angela proudly made Prince George's a Sanctuary County, letting drug dealers, gang members, and sex offenders who are here illegally back on the street without informing federal agents.
Angela supports abolishing cash bail, which would release defendants accused of violent crimes back on the streets.
As State’s Attorney, Angela implemented a program to keep drug dealers out of jail, including fentanyl dealers. Since then, Prince George’s County has seen a sharp increase in drug overdose deaths, far worse than the rest of the state.
In Prince George’s County, Angela is leading the nation by phasing out security from schools.
- With the goal of phasing out school resource officers, Prince George’s County began implementing Angela’s task force’s proposal to remove security from the schools in the 2022 school year despite parents raising concerns about the move. Since this plan began to be implemented, Prince George’s has been dealing with out-of-control fights and loaded guns being brought into schools by students, including a day in which 10 massive fights broke out in a single school day at a high school.
It’s not just the Prince George’s County Police where public safety has been underfunded. She's also failed to fund the county’s fire stations.
-
Lack of funding for public safety has been an ongoing issue in Prince George’s County under Angela, with fire stations dealing with severe staffing shortages.
-
The county firefighters’ union sounded the alarm about staffing shortages that have become “more and more serious” over the last several years, blaming the Prince George’s County government for inadequate funding.
-
A Democratic County Council member claimed that the council has been trying to get more funding to hire more firefighters but that it has not been a priority for Angela’s administration.
-
The firefighter shortage almost led to a deadly situation when, earlier this year, there were not enough firefighters to respond to a serious home fire with residents trapped inside. This forced just one engine to deal with the blaze for a long period of time without any backup and miraculously avoiding casualties.
- Prince George’s County Fire Chief Tiffany Green plans to pull career firefighters out of four firehouses for reassignment elsewhere because of “critical staffing shortages.”
Under Angela's leadership, the county Board of Education devolved into infighting and chaos. Sound familiar? Instead of addressing the problem and holding her own appointees accountable, she said the school board was “not my responsibility.”
The problem got so bad that Angela's handpicked Chair of the Board was accused by the State Board of Education of “incompetency, willful neglect of duty and misconduct.”
The Prince George’s County School Board, led by Angela’s appointed Chair Juanita Miller, has devolved into a dysfunctional, chaotic, and ethically-questionable body under her watch. Instead of focusing on improving education outcomes for students, the board has been preoccupied with petty arguments and ethics complaints.
The State Board of Education charged Miller with incompetency, willful neglect of duty, and misconduct in office, as she failed to effectively fulfill her responsibilities as board chair, further exacerbating the dysfunction within the board. Miller faced allegations of withholding ethics complaints from board members and engaging in unauthorized procurement, which has undermined trust in her leadership and integrity due to a lack of transparency and adherence to proper protocols.
The state’s official scorecard for 2023 showed that PG County high schools “failed to hit any of the annual targets laid out by the state and did not achieve improvement in any of the five categories measured.” Even after red flags were raised about Juanita Miller’s leadership of the board, Angela repeatedly said she “stood by” her.
Not a single demographic group of students in Prince George’s County hit the state’s annual target for math proficiency last year. Four Prince George’s County high schools — Duval, Roosevelt, Gwynn Park, and Largo — lost a star in the state’s one-to-five star scale ranking system and not a single high school in the county improved its ranking.
Under Angela's leadership, Prince George’s budget deficit is skyrocketing.
In December 2023, the latest forecasts for Prince George’s County showed a projected deficit gap in the budget that grows from $183M in FY 2025 to as much as $387M by 2030.
Angela has been accused by a fellow Democrat of managing the county budget so poorly that law enforcement and public safety personnel would have to be cut at a time of rising crime.
A Democratic County Councilmember claimed that in order to close the budget deficit, Angela was planning to furlough public safety personnel. He also called on Angela to be more transparent about the budgetary issues the county is facing and how she plans to address them.
Angela is now openly talking about raising taxes on her constituents.
Marylanders have enough money in their pockets. That's why Angela is running on a promise to raise Social Security taxes, which could cost them billions of dollars!
During her campaign for County Executive, Angela promised to double trash collection but then abandoned that promise once in office. Just wait until you see the campaign promises she abandons in the Senate.
