 Maryland Senate Candidate Angela Alsobrooks: 'First Chances' Will Boost US
==========

Maryland Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks emphasizes the importance of 'first chances' in boosting societal outcomes and economic growth. She believes that investing in humans is crucial for true economic opportunity, citing examples such as a child tax credit to help families afford daycare. Alsobrooks, a former prosecutor, is running to become Maryland's first Black senator and wants to address issues like cost-of-living, affordable housing, and public safety. She also advocates for the elimination of the filibuster in the Senate to overcome legislative blockages. If elected, Alsobrooks would potentially be part of a small cohort of Black women in the upper chamber.
