The District.
Not sure YP. Id guess a toss up between her and Davis. Shes been great for PG county though and is beloved by locals. I support her because shes a DCPS product and we have mutual associates.What are your thoughts on her vs her potential competitors?
So she's for big business. Well, how does that help regular folks? It probably hinders their opportunities, huh? Black faces on white economic bodies isn't progress.I live in PG County where she currently is the County Exec. She running for the Senate because she is term limited and her next political move would have been to run for Congress or Governor, but Steny Hoyer and Wes Moore have those jobs locked up for probably the next eight years. She did an okay job as County Exec but she and County Council members didn't do enough to curb run away building by developers.
Her biggest challenge will be voter turnout because Maryland still has major pockets of racism and voters in P.G. and Montgomery Counties will have to come out in numbers that will overwhelm the inevitable white backlash. She also will face stiff opposition in the primary from left leaning candidates David Trone and Jamie Raskin if he decides to jump in..
I met the woman during her initial run for office and challenged her on the huge amount of campaign contributions she received from developers and of course she said she would not be influence by them if elected. Her record in that regard has been mixed but compared to the record of compromised do nothing ex-Councilman Derrick Davis she has not been a rubber stamp for them.
Finally not that it should really matter, imo she is not a dime piece but she definitely is a petite attractive articulate classy competent sistah and she's got my vote if she makes it through the primary.
Sometimes you have candidates whose entire existence is to prop up big business. They all have the same agenda but they use different faces to be obfuscate the point: someone has to lose in a zero-sum game. Why would any black person play that game? Have they not learned from the Native Americans? Do we need cities to be relabeled as reservations for us to get the point?She’s a cute little lady with a great political record, running to replace the Jewish Senator in a strongly democratic state. She jumped in the race because she’s term limited and wants to scare other players out. The question is will Jamie Raskin or Kweisi Mfume get in the race. Right now, she’s chasing Trone, who can write unlimited checks to his campaign.

Do you think if Raskin runs it'll be a wrap or does she still have a fighting chance?Not fair to label her as being for unbridled big business. I was concerned that might be the case before she was elected but she has demonstrated her community first bona fides by putting the clamps on companies trying to dump warehouses, gas stations, chicken and fast food restaurants, liquor stores and the like in or near communities whose residents bought their homes with the understanding commercial development of that type would not be allowed.
A specific case in point, Amazon tried put a massive warehouse in one community thanks to a gutless in the pocket of developers Councilman Derrick Davis who tried to ram through a zoning change that would have allowed companies like Amazon to set up shop in close proximity to a purely residential area. After public outcry Alsobrooks stopped the project cold much to the dismay of self serving Davis. Make no mistake Alsobrooks is a politician but so far she seems not to be a corrupt one imo.

Just looked her upInitially I thought she’d do great (we went to same HS, don’t know her personally as she has a decade on me) but meh… her move isn’t a surprise, i don’t think she’ll win becuz of pretty much what Ron said above. Those doing the worst in pg ain’t fans. Rent is stupid high, places where blacks were the majority is now primarily latino- they not gonna vote for her
I like Wanika Fisher tho if we taking local politics. She’s a weird looking lil midget but about what she says

Eight more years of Congressman Randolph Duke???
PG has a well oiled machine right now. Braveboy will take her spot. Once Moore drops that endorsement it’s a wrap.Raskin has the benefit of national exposure while Alsobrooks is not well known outside of P.G. County so realistically if I had to bet I'd put my money on Raskin to win the primary and the general as well.
