Candidate Comparison
Senate
Angela Alsobrooks (D)
Larry Hogan (R)
Alsobrooks supports the PRO Act, which will strengthen the right to organize and protect workers who fight for better wages, benefits, and safer workplaces. [1] | As Governor, Hogan vetoed a bill that would have expanded collective bargaining rights in Maryland. He vetoed a bill that would have provided paid sick leave for Maryland workers and vetoed a bill that would have provided tax breaks to union members. Hogan has not commented on the PRO Act. [4] |
Alsobrooks supports the Affordable Care Act, which provides affordable health insurance to more than 213,000 Marylanders, and she supports the Inflation Reduction Act, which reduced prescription drug prices and capped seniors’ insulin costs at $35. [2] | As Governor, Hogan vetoed funding for the Prescription Drug Affordability Board, which would have worked to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. Hogan has argued the Affordable Care Act needs to be “fixed” but opposed efforts to repeal it. [5] |
Alsobrooks worked to launch the Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Prince George’s County, providing tens of millions of dollars in rental assistance to residents. She also supported a bill to temporarily cap rent increases in the County. [3] | Hogan vetoed legislation which protected renters from eviction, but he also invested funding in 6,000 affordable housing units. [6] |
