Angela Deneece Alsobrooks (born February 23, 1971) is an American lawyer and politician serving since 2025 as the junior United States senator from Maryland. A member of the Democratic Party, she served from 2018 to 2024 as county executive of Prince George's County, Maryland, and from 2010 to 2018 as the county's state's attorney. She is the first female county executive of Prince George's County and the first Black female county executive in Maryland history.
Born and raised in Prince George's County, Alsobrooks graduated from Duke University and the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. She began her career as an attorney for local firms before becoming involved in county government as a domestic violence prosecutor and appointed official in county executive Jack B. Johnson's administration. She was elected state's attorney of Prince George's County in 2010 and reelected in 2014. Alsobrooks has served as Prince George's County Executive since 2018; she defeated former U.S. representative Donna Edwards in the 2018 Democratic primary election and ran unopposed in the general election. Alsobrooks was reelected in 2022.
Alsobrooks ran for the U.S. Senate in 2024 to replace retiring Senator Ben Cardin. She defeated U.S. Representative David Trone in the Democratic primary and won the general election against former Republican governor Larry Hogan, becoming Maryland's first African-American senator and the third African-American woman elected as senator of any U.S. state.[a] She is the second woman to represent Maryland in the Senate, after Barbara Mikulski.
