The Democratic group emilyslist endorsed CEXAlsobrooks for the Maryland Senate race, offering the Prince George’s County executive an early boost in what is expected to be a competitive primary to replace the retiring SenatorCardin.
The pro-abortion rights political action committee lauded Alsobrooks as a “proven leader” based on her tenure in local government, according to the statement obtained by Politico. The endorsement gives the Maryland Democrat a key advantage as she faces a crowded field of competitors that is only expected to grow larger over the coming months.
Alsobrooks launched her Senate bid for the solidly Democratic seat on Tuesday. She will face at least two challengers: Rep. David Trone and Montgomery County Councilman Will Jawando, who announced their campaigns earlier this month. Rep. Jamie Raskin said he is also considering a Senate bid, although he told reporters he would not make a decision until the end of May. Should Raskin enter the race, he would benefit from the name recognition he earned as the manager for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment in 2021 and his role on the Jan. 6 committee in the last Congress.A Senate bid for Raskin would also position him for a rematch against Trone.
Meanwhile, the bench for competitive Republican Senate candidates is short in the heavily blue state. GOP leaders sought to convince former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan to run for the seat, but he ruled out a bid earlier this month.
