LARGO, Md. (DC News Now) — Less than two months from Election Day, a new CNN report details improper tax claims by a major Senate candidate, Angela Alsobrooks. Prince George's County Executive and Senate race candidate Alsobrooks is under fire for allegedly taking advantage of tax breaks she didn't qualify for.  The new CNN review revealed that Alsobrooks saved thousands of dollars in taxes on two properties she owned in Maryland and D.C.  Analysis: DC News Now polls shows Alsobrooks leads Hogan in Maryland U.S. Senate seat “The Maryland tax issues seem like an honest mistake,” said Maryland voter, Damian Doyle. “The D.C. tax breaks seem a little dicey.” Alsobrooks was accused of improperly claiming senior citizens' tax breaks on her D.C. property, which her grandparents used to own. According to the review, Alsobrooks saved nearly $14,000 in taxes from 2005 to 2017 on the D.C. property.  The CNN review also discovered Alsobrooks purchased a townhome in Prince George's County. It says she received a homestead exemption in 2008. Reaction: Polling in Swing States But, continued to take the exemption even after renting it out.  In a statement to DC News Now, her senior advisor said, that Alsobrooks was unaware of any tax credits attached to the property and has reached out to the District to resolve the issue and make any necessary payment. “If you’re run a big county executive role, I would hope that you’d be a little more aware of your personal stuff,” said Doyle. A spokesperson for Larry Hogan's campaign released the following statement to DC News Now in response to the CNN review. “It’s deeply disturbing that Angela Alsobrooks thinks the rules don’t apply to her. She campaigns on raising taxes while failing to pay her own and taking advantage of tax credits reserved for the poor and elderly. She claims to be unaware of tax laws it was her job to enforce. Governor Hogan has always stood up for taxpayers and in the Senate he will continue to fight for fairness and fiscal responsibility.”
