Alsobrooks and Hogan win Senate primary races
In the bid to fill the open seat left in the United States Senate by U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., who chose not to seek reelection, Republican candidate former Gov. Larry Hogan and Democratic candidate Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks are set to appear on the ballot in November, each winning their respective party primary on Tuesday night.
“Marylanders made their voices heard, and now Angela Alsobrooks will lead our charge to keep Maryland blue and ensure that Marylanders' values are represented in the Senate,” said U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., in a Tuesday evening press release by the Maryland Democratic Party.
Van Hollen had endorsed Alsobrooks in the primary over his congressional colleague, U.S. Rep. David Trone, D-6th, who called Alsobrooks and conceded the election on Tuesday evening.
The Republican Hogan spoke to the path ahead for his campaign in a release of his prepared remarks after declaring victory on Tuesday night.
"Tonight, the campaign for Maryland and America's future begins," he said. "With your help we’re going to bring our case for strong, proven, effective and independent leadership directly to the people of Maryland — all across this state."

US Senate candidates head to polls, meet voters
One of the candidates on the ballot for Maryland’s open United States Senate seat said this morning that the work would continue “until the last hour” to earn votes in today’s primary election.
Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat, greeted those outside the Green Street Academy in West Baltimore on Tuesday morning in her third of thirteen scheduled stops in the state on Election Day.
“I am working until the last hour to earn the vote of every single voter that I can interact with — to spread not only information about my record, but the message about a positive vision that I have for our state,” she said, in an interview.
Another Democrat on the ballot, U.S. Rep. David Trone, D-6th, entered the voting booth Tuesday morning, casting his ballot in Montgomery County. Alsobrooks cast her ballot in Prince George’s County on May 3, one of the first days of the early voting period.
On the Republican side, former Gov. Larry Hogan cast his ballot in Anne Arundel County Tuesday morning. His next scheduled stop is a primary election night event in Annapolis this evening.
Alsobrooks had 10 scheduled afternoon stops before an election night event after the polls close.
“I’ve been in someone’s living room, or backyard, or coffee shop, seven days a week, going to voters where they are and talking to them about the issues that are of concern,” she said, Tuesday morning in Baltimore, “and today is no different.”
