Angela Alsobrooks praises her 'friend, mentor, and role model' Kamala Harris during DNC's keynote address
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Angela Alsobrooks, the candidate for Maryland Senate, took to the stage at the Democratic National
Convention (DNC) on Day 2 and shared details about her friendship with Kamala Harris.
Both two ladies have known each other for 14 years and, during this time, the Democratic presidential nominee mentored the executive of Prince George’s County.
“After reading about this super bad district attorney, I talked non-stop about her on the campaign trail,” Angela Alsobrooks said of Harris.
She continued, “Hear me: Kamala Harris knows how to keep criminals off the streets. Come November, with your help, she’ll keep one out of the Oval Office.”
Tonight, our faith is stronger than our fears. Faith that we, the people, can choose a new leader — and a better future — for the people.
