Alsobrooks rolls out campaign ad featuring former Hogan voters
Angela Alsobrooks (D), a candidate in the Maryland Senate race, released a new ad Tuesday featuring voters who previously supported the state’s former governor, Larry Hogan (R ) refusing to re-elect him to the Senate.
“Larry Hogan would give Republicans control of the Senate,” Joe Palka of Gaithersburg, Md. said in the video posted on X.
His statement is followed by different speakers who state the GOP could pass a national abortion ban, tax cuts for big corporations and appoint extreme Supreme Court Justices.
“I don’t want Republicans to have control,” said Diane Stokes of West Hyattsville, Md.
The ad entitled “This Time’s Different” harps on the potential impact of a Senate with a Republican majority.
“I voted for Larry Hogan before but no way this time,” Palka emphasized.
Hogan who served two terms as governor has distanced himself from former President Trump in an effort to earn voters’ support. He has poured $19 million into TV ad reservations while Alsobrooks has only spent $2 million in future ads.
Alsobrooks has a 9.4 percent lead with voters in the traditionally blue state of Maryland, according to The Hill’s internal polling site, Decision Desk HQ. In the past week, the Prince George’s County executive has earned endorsements from former President Barack Obama and The Washington Post.
