HAGERSTOWN, Md. (DC News Now) -- In the Maryland race for U.S. Senate, Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and Republican Larry Hogan are hitting the campaign trail hard after Thursday night's televised debate. The debate was aired on Maryland Public Television. Alsobrooks told viewers "This election is about the future and deciding the kind of future we want to build for our children and grandchildren. The more people hear about me, my record, my vision, we're earning votes every day." 5 takeaways from the Maryland Senate debate Hogan, meeting with Washington County Sheriff's deputies and local police to close out the week, drove home his pitch to voters. "What we desperately need in Washington are bipartisan commonsense leaders that are willing to stand up to the extremes in both parties and reach across the aisle and bring people together to get things done," he said. Alsobrooks insisted, however, that Marylanders would benefit from her party controlling the agenda on Capitol Hill. "It's going to be important that the Democrats maintain a majority in the Senate," she said. Meanwhile, Hogan asserted that he is a bridge to that deep partisan divide in the Nation's Capital. "There's too much partisanship," he told deputy sheriffs and Hagerstown police Friday. "Democrats and Republicans don't talk to each other. They almost never get anything done." Hogan will take his campaign to Maryland's western counties this weekend. Alsobrooks will campaign in Baltimore with Governor Wes Moore, then move on to Harford County.
