UPPER MARLBORO, MD – Surrounded by educators, parents and students, Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks, a candidate for County Executive, unveiled her education policy during an event at her campaign headquarters this afternoon.
“For the last 20 years, I have been in a public school in our county. From adopting one as a brand new prosecutor in 1997 to serving as the Education Liaison in the County Executive’s Office and then being able to work with students and teachers as State’s Attorney with our anti-truancy initiative, our Teen Court Program and speaking at career days, graduations and many other events, I have gotten to know so many principals, teachers and students, that I am proud to call friends,” Alsobrooks said. “My education policy is one that I believe will ensure that our teachers have the resources they need to effectively work with our students, our parents have the access to resources they need that will allow them to be more involved with their children’s education and ensures that our students come to school ready to learn in an environment that is conducive to doing so.”
The highlights of Alsobrooks education policy include:
In the coming weeks, Alsobrooks plans to announce policies in additional areas including economic development, the environment, quality of life and public safety.

Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks has stated she’s serious about her run for county executive. And judging by campaign finance reports filed last month, she wasn’t joking.
In the past year, Alsobrooks raised $777,000 and has about $983,000 cash on hand. She had $508,000 in the bank before she began to raise money Jan. 12, 2017.
Prince George’s State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks has a large fundraising lead among Democrats vying to become the next county executive, according to campaign finance reports filed this week.
Alsobrooks netted more than $770,000 in donations in 2017. Coupled with her campaign accounts from previous years, that gives her nearly $1 million in the bank — nearly seven times as much as her nearest competitor.
A labor union that helped propel Donna F. Edwards to Congress years ago is throwing its support behind one of her Democratic primary rivals, State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks, in the race for Prince George’s county executive.
Later today, the Friends of Angela Alsobrooks will file their 2018 Annual Campaign Finance Report that details an astounding $984,000 on hand and over $770,000 raised since January 12, 2017.
When asked about the results, Alsobrooks said:
“I am extremely proud of these results, my team, and this campaign. I was raised to embrace the importance of hard work, and it is hard work that has produced these results. The strength of our campaign is more than just a dollar amount. Our strength comes from the trust and relationships we’ve built as we traveled across this great county touching a wide range of people. The strength of our campaign comes from those we serve knowing that we work hard on their behalf and that we will continue to do so as County Executive.
I am most proud of the incredible grassroots support our hard work has yielded in our communities. We’ve visited churches and schools, have attended many community and homeowner’s association meetings, and have even had impromptu listening sessions at the 7-eleven and many other places. Additionally, numerous families have opened their homes, hosting meetings in their living rooms, so we could address challenges specific to their communities. Everyone has had a seat at our table and that will continue.
I often say, don’t judge me by my words but by the work I have done. The same holds true here: don’t judge our support by a dollar amount, but by the work we did casting a wide net to earn the support of a broad base of county residents. Together, we will fulfill the promise of Prince George’s County.”
