Angela D. Alsobrooks

In the 2024 Senate race for MD Senate seat, Angela Alsobrooks (D) won with 54.6% of the vote, defeating Larry Hogan (R) who received 42.8%. 7 additional candidates split the remaining vote. Angela Alsobrooks's 11.8-point lead over the runner-up showed solid but not overwhelming support.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Chris Van Hollen (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket.
