>> I AM ANGELA ALSOBROOKS AND I
APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
>> JOINING US NOW IN THE
WINNER'S CIRCLE IS ANGELA
ALSOBROOKS, DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR SENATE IN
MARYLAND.
THANKS FOR JOINING US AND
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIG WIN.
YOU HAVE ENDORSEMENTS THROUGH
YOUR POSITION AS COUNTY
EXECUTIVE, IN A COUNTY BY THE
WAY THAT IS BIGGER THAN SOME
STATES AND POPULATION, BUT YOU
ALSO WERE OUTSPENT MASSIVELY
AND WERE STILL ABLE TO PULL
THIS OFF.
>> YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HAVING ME.
IT IS A WONDERFUL FEELING.
A WONDERFUL DAY.
>> WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO BE THE
MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE BETWEEN
YOU AND LARRY HOGAN IN THE
CAMPAIGN?
>> THERE ARE MANY POLICY ISSUES.
THE ISSUE OF CHOICE IS THE ONE
I HEAR MOST ABOUT.
I HAVE AN 18-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
AND LIKE SO MANY I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT HER RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND
FREEDOM.
THE RIGHT TO MAKE HER OWN
DECISIONS ABOUT HER BODY.
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT
ONLY IMPORTANT TO SO MANY
WOMEN, BUT ALSO TO MEN, FATHERS
AND GRANDFATHERS WHO WANT THEIR
DAUGHTERS TO HAVE MORE RIGHTS
THAN THEIR MOTHERS AND GRAND
MOTHER'S AND NOT FEWER.
THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I
BELIEVE WILL BE THE ISSUE IN
THIS ELECTION.
THE SUPREME COURT IS AN ISSUE
AS WELL.
SENSIBLE GUN LEGISLATION.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
THERE ARE MANY ISSUES BUT I
BELIEVE THE POLICY DIFFERENCES
WILL BE THE ISSUES THAT DIVIDE
US AND ULTIMATELY MARYLANDERS
WANT TO KEEP THE SENATE BLUE.
>> AND LARRY HOGAN HAS HAD HIS
DIFFERENCES PUBLICLY WITH DRUM
FROM TIME TO TIME.
AS A REPUBLICAN SENATOR HE
WOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING THAT
THE MAJORITY REPUBLICAN SENATE
COULD DO TO SUPPORT DONALD
TRUMP.
>> THIS IS RIGHT.
WE SAW THAT MITCH McCONNELL WAS
THE PERSON WHO INVITED LARRY
HOGAN TO THIS RACE.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT LARRY HOGAN
WOULD BE VOTING WITH HIS
CAUCUS.
HE HAS ALREADY SHOWN HIMSELF TO
BE A PERSON WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT
CHOICE.
A PERSON WHO VETOED IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION THAT WOULD HAVE
EXPANDED ABORTION CARE IN THE
STATE AND WE KNOW HE WILL BE
VOTING WITH THE REPUBLICAN
CAUCUS, WHICH BY THE WAY AND A
PARTY THAT IS LED BY DONALD
TRUMP.
>> YOU ARE NOW TARGETED BY
REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THEY HAVE
HIGH HOPES OF WINNING THAT SEAT
IN MARYLAND SO THEY CAN GET A
MAJORITY IN THE SENATE.
>> THIS IS A STATE WHERE I HAVE
BUILT A STRONG GRASSROOTS
COALITION ACROSS THE STATE.
I HAVE ENJOYED TALKING TO
VOTERS WHERE THEY ARE ACROSS
THE STATE, NOT ONLY ABOUT MY
OWN RECORD, BUT A POSITIVE
VISION FOR OUR STATE AND I FIND
THAT THE ISSUES THAT TIE US
AROUND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY,
SAFE COMMUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE
CAN FEEL SAFE AND BE SAFE IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE ISSUE
OF CHOICE AND SO MANY OTHER
ISSUES ARE RESONATING WITH
MARYLANDERS AND ULTIMATELY I
BELIEVE THAT THE POLICY
POSITIONS I'VE TAKEN AND ONE'S
