Progressive Maryland’s ‘Save the Senate’ Operation Reaches Over 335,000 Voters Statewide, Securing Victory in a Landmark Election

Annapolis, Maryland –  Progressive Maryland celebrates a monumental victory as Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks has been elected to the U.S. Senate, marking a pivotal moment in Maryland’s history. As the largest independent expenditure campaign outside of the Alsobrooks campaign, we reached more than 335,000 voters across the state through extensive canvassing, phone banking, social media and community engagement.

With a commitment to defeating former Governor Larry Hogan, we ran a statewide paid canvassing operation. In addition, we led 14 Volunteer Canvassing Days of Action across Maryland’s key areas, mobilizing hundreds of volunteers to reach tens of thousands of voters at their doors, engage them one-on-one, and rally communities to turn out for this historic race. We also held strategic phone banks persuading likely Hogan supporters to make the choice for Alsobrooks and ensured that likely supporters for Alsobrooks were making it to the polls. 

"Through our GOTV work and a powerful media push to highlight Hogan’s harmful past leadership decisions, we worked tirelessly to prevent him from taking this critical seat," said Christianne Marguerite, Communications Director at Progressive Maryland. "With op-eds, press conferences, and blog posts, we rallied public support to defeat a candidate whose record as governor consistently blocked essential progress for Maryland’s working families. Our anti-Hogan campaign underscored the stakes of this election, and we are proud of our success in ensuring that Maryland’s working families are now represented by someone who truly stands for our interests, not partisan ideology."

"With Angela Alsobrooks’ victory, we’ve made history and upheld the values that Marylanders care deeply about,” said Larry Stafford, Executive Director of Progressive Maryland. “Our team’s commitment to reaching voters in every corner of the state demonstrates the power of grassroots organizing, especially with so much on the line. This Senate seat is critical to the future of our democracy, and I couldn’t be prouder of our volunteers and supporters who made this possible. At Progressive Maryland, we’re not just supporting candidates; we’re continuing to shape the political landscape here in Maryland, amplifying the voices of working families and building a more just future for our state."

Alsobrooks’ win is a testament to the strength of our community-driven efforts and her election represents the values of a diverse and forward-thinking Maryland. As she heads to Washington, we at Progressive Maryland will continue advocating for policies that reflect our communities' needs and push for a fairer, more inclusive future for all Marylanders—even as we face new challenges with a GOP-controlled Senate.
