An office of Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ was broken into on April 5. The office is located at 8455 Colesville Road in Silver Spring, Md.
Alsobrooks is in the running to represent Maryland in the United States Senate, replacing U.S. Senator Ben Cardin, who has announced he will not seek re-election. Major opponents in the race include David Trone and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan.
“I’m disappointed to see that our office seems to have been targeted,” said Alsobrooks. “Someone forced their way in, went through sensitive material, threw some of our campaign shirts in the trash and stole personal items from a staff member.”
No one reportedly has been hurt and the office remains open to campaign workers and the public.
Alsobrooks told the AFRO that she is not “deterred.”
“This only strengthens our resolve to run the kind of uplifting campaign we’ve been running since day one,” she said.
The election for United States Senate will take place in Maryland on May 14. The deadline to register to vote in the election is Tuesday, April 23. Early voting will begin on May 2.
