Alright, kids, gather ’round for a story about a Democrat Senate candidate in Maryland named Angela Alsobrooks. She’s been making some big promises about not cozying up to those fancy-pants corporate interests and lobbyists… but guess what? Turns out, she’s been raking in donations from those very same folks like there’s no tomorrow!

According to some snoopy analysts over at Open Secrets, Angela has pocketed over $260,000 in donations from lobbyists in 2024. These lobbyists represent all sorts of bigwig companies like fast food joints, pharmaceutical giants, and even those folks who love building spaceships and fighting aliens in the sky. Sounds like a party, doesn’t it?
Now, Angela went on this place called X in April and declared to the world that she’s not all about those corporate big shots. She said she’s all about the little guy, the average Joe, the everyday Jane. But hold on a minute, Angela, because donation records don’t lie!
One of the sneaky little lobbyists who threw some cash Angela’s way is Christopher Randle, a big shot at Meta. And there’s Mike McKay, the CEO of Empire Consulting Group, with a laundry list of clients that’ll make your head spin faster than a tilt-a-whirl ride. These folks dropped thousands of dollars into Angela’s campaign piggy bank faster than you can say “lobbyist.”
But the fun doesn’t stop there, kiddos! There’s Jeff Forbes, Nicole Venable, Mary Beth Stanton, and a whole cast of characters from Lobbyist Land who just couldn’t resist greasing Angela’s wheels with their hard-earned lobbyist dollars.
Now, Angela is gearing up to go head-to-head with former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican fella, in the big showdown in November. It’s like a heavyweight bout, folks! Will Angela’s lobbyist friends give her the edge she needs to come out on top? Or will Larry Hogan and his merry band of Republicans rain on her parade? Stay tuned, boys and girls, ’cause this political circus is just getting started!
