Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks (D) on Saturday declared her support for Wes Moore in his bid to become Maryland’s next governor, giving him a coveted endorsement in the crowded Democratic primary.
Alsobrooks, who leads one of the most populous counties in the state, is the highest-profile elected official in Maryland to back Moore in his first bid for public office. She is also the second county executive to endorse the author and former nonprofit chief. Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman (D) announced his support for Moore six months ago.
Alsobrooks called Moore “the leader we need in this moment.”
