Democrat Under Investigation
Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maryland, is under scrutiny for allegedly misusing tax exemptions that were not intended for her, resulting in substantial savings on her properties in Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
Recent reports indicate that between 2005 and 2017, Alsobrooks benefited from nearly $14,000 in tax breaks on her Washington property. These exemptions are designed for primary residents, low-income individuals, and senior citizens, categories that Alsobrooks does not fit. Despite claiming a homestead exemption for over a decade, public records reveal she has been registered to vote in Prince George’s County, Maryland, since 1995 and does not primarily reside in D.C.
In addition to the homestead exemption, Alsobrooks received a tax break meant for low-income seniors, which cut her tax burden in half. At 53 years old, she does not qualify for this break herself, although her grandparents—previous owners of the property—likely did. Alsobrooks’ senior adviser stated she was unaware of these tax credits and is currently working with local authorities to address the situation.
In Maryland, she purchased a property in 2005 and claimed a homestead exemption starting in 2008. However, after renting the townhouse, she continued to apply the exemption meant for primary residences, a move that CNN estimates saved her at least $2,600. Her campaign argues that when she purchased a new home, the exemption did not transfer, meaning she paid more taxes overall, but she remains committed to rectifying any discrepancies.
Alsobrooks is up against former Republican Governor Larry Hogan in the race for the Senate seat vacated by retiring Senator Ben Cardin. Polls show a close race, with Alsobrooks leading Hogan by just five points. Hogan is positioning himself as a moderate alternative in a predominantly Democratic state, while Alsobrooks has labeled him a “MAGA” supporter, suggesting he would enable Republican control of the Senate.
With Maryland voters leaning toward Vice President Kamala Harris over Donald Trump by a wide margin, the race is heating up as both candidates vie for crucial support in this pivotal election.
“Name calling” is ALL the DEMOCOMMUNISTS have to offer this country, after all the names they are calling, describe THEM to a “T”.
Exactly. How can anyone vote for the people that divide the country. None of the Biden/Harris policies are good for Americans. Afghanistan withdrawal. Ukraine/Russia War has been funded by American taxpayers again. The illegal immigrants by the billions is being funded by American taxpayers. The crime in every city is up. Who pays? Bingo. Defund the Police. Taxpayers pay with merchandise stolen at will. Some people paid with their lives. Inflation is a way we pay. The oil inflation. The stupid begging for oil from other countries, and then taking oil from our oil reserves and not replacing. The continuous lying that Trump caused this and that. That is a lie. Calling MAGA Supporters deplorable. For one, I have been helping at least one person a day for the past forty plus years. What have these lying big mouths done? Nothing. Got MAGA Supporters putting Americans first. Helping the homeless, veterans, their neighbors, people standing on the corner that are Democrats. Standing on the corners because the Biden/Harris Administration has destroyed the housing market. Inflation, and gangs from Mexico, and other places, taking over. Mainstream Media just twiddles their fingers blaming others. Lazy, dumb, and should not be paid for their incompetence. This is what a Socialist, Communist Country looks like. Trying to ban American gun owners guns. At the same time, Harris and others bailing criminals out of jail. These are the threats to the Republic. Not Democracy. Vote these losers out.
