Angela Alsobrooks (D) defeated Larry Hogan (R) and Mike Scott (L) in Maryland's U.S. Senate election on November 5, 2024. Click here for detailed results.
Incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin (D), who was first elected in 2006, did not run for re-election.
According to Maryland Matters' Josh Kurtz, Alsobrooks, who was the Prince George's County Executive at the time of the election, and Hogan, a former Maryland governor, focused on different messaging to appeal to the electorate. Kurtz wrote, "For Alsobrooks, it's about trying to tie Hogan, a popular center-right Republican who has thrived in a Democratic state, to the most extreme elements of the national GOP, especially on issues like abortion rights—as control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance. For Hogan, it's about persuading a critical number of Democrats and nonaffiliated voters that he's an independent operator, and reminding them that his governing style won broad approval during his eight years in Annapolis."[1]
Alsobrooks was first elected to serve as Prince George's County executive in 2018 and re-elected in 2022 after running unopposed in both general elections.[2][3] Alsobrooks was also Prince George's County state's attorney from 2011 to 2018 after running unopposed in the 2010 and 2014 general elections.[4][5] Before she ran for public office, Alsobrooks was an assistant state's attorney in Prince George's County, where she handled domestic violence cases.[6]
Alsobrooks said her priorities would include creating economic opportunities, building transportation and technology infrastructure, and protecting abortion access.[6] Alsobrooks said her life experiences would inform her work in the Senate. She said, "I understand the struggles of hard-working families because I grew up in one. How we solve a lot of these issues is borne directly from my personal experience of watching people work hard to make things happen for their families."[7]
Hogan was the governor of Maryland from 2015 to 2023. He was first elected in 2014, defeating Anthony Brown (D) 51% to 47.2%. Hogan won re-election in 2018, defeating Ben Jealous (D) 55.4% to 43.5%. From 2003 to 2007, Hogan served as secretary of appointments in former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich's (R) cabinet.[8] Hogan also founded the real estate brokerage firm The Hogan Companies.[8]
Hogan said his priorities would include improving public safety and border security, creating economic opportunities, and improving education and job training.[9] Hogan said he would bring strong, independent leadership to the Senate. He said, "In the Senate, Republicans can't count on my vote. But then again, neither can Democrats. If they want my vote, they will have to do what is right for Maryland, not one political party."[10][11]
Vice-President Kamala Harris (D) endorsed Alsobrooks.[12] Former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Hogan.[13] On Trump's endorsement, Hogan said, "I didn't seek it, I didn't want to have it and I have no interest in it."[13]
Based on Q3 2024 reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Alsobrooks raised $25.9 million and spent $22.5 million, and Hogan raised $10.2 million and spent $8.7 million. To review campaign finance figures in full detail, click here. According to The Washington Post's Erin Cox and Katie Shepherd, the last time a U.S. Senate seat in Maryland was open in 2016, the winner, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D), raised $11.9 million over the entire six-year election cycle.[14]
As of Oct. 30, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales, and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Likely Democratic, while Decision Desk HQ and The Hill rated it Safe Democratic.
Mike Scott (L) and Billy Bridges (Unaffiliated) completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. To read those survey responses, click here.
The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. Senate in 2025.
Thirty-four of 100 seats were up for election, including one special election. Of the seats up for election in 2024, Democrats held 19, Republicans held 11, and independents held four. Eight members of the U.S. Senate did not run for re-election, more than in any year since 2012.
This was one of eight open races for the U.S. Senate in 2024 where an incumbent did not run for re-election. Across the country, four Democrats, two Republicans, and two independents did not run for re-election, more than in any year since 2012. In 2022, six senators did not seek re-election, including one Democrat and five Republicans.

Titles: Father, Major, Analyst, Ops Researcher, Strategic Planner, Student, Christian, Martial Artist, Proud Marylander and soon, U.S. Senator. Labels: Black, African American, Libertarian, Divorcee, Politician, Nerd History: I was born on the south side of Chicago, the HOOD hood. I graduated high school in Florida and enlisted in the Air Force then finished college and commissioned as an officer; almost 30 years of total federal service. I've forgotten more about federal acquisitions and budgeting than most (like my opponents) will ever know. I had a TOP SECRET clearance from 1994 to 2015 and have seen things I can NEVER tell you about. I lived in 3 countries, visited several more, and lived in 11 states. Maryland is the home I chose, and I brought my extended family here. I am a proponent of the OODA Loop for everyday life. Observe, Orient, Decide, Act-that's the Air Force version of military decision making. I look at things as they ARE, not as I hope or fear them to be. And, I use that decision making process and my DECADES of experience in various jobs and different cultures to form my opinions. My children deserve to inherit country they can be proud of and thrive in. Eph 6:12 is why I decided to run. ECC 9:11-12 is why I think I can win. My only goal is to shrink government. I will use my position as Senator to ensure the pendulum of power swings back to the side of We the People."

I commit to serve only one term, and return to private life. I just want enough time to set the nation on the right track, with a system and mindset of problem-solving. When politicians say fighting, they mean there will be a victor and a loser. This means no resolution and continued divisions. I offer solutions which are acceptable to the nation. As a servant leader, I commit to working full-time for the citizens and not part-time like the party politicians who work a third of the time, fund raise a third of the time, and spend the other third making themselves richer through paid speaking engagements. Please consider these issues, and Write-In Billy Bridges for the U.S. Senate from Maryland. Visit us at www.bridgesforus.org
My name is Billy Bridges and I believing in Building Bridges and Not Walls between people. I commit to being accessible and to listen. I do not proclaim to know everything, and therefore I am a great listener. My Faith in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Keeps me humbled and ready to serve others. Please think of your needs and those of your family, loved ones, and friends. Please Write-In Billy Bridges for the U.S. Senate from Maryland. Visit us at www.bridgesforus.org

The federal government is too big, too expensive, and not effective nor efficient at providing services. That job should be pushed to communities, cities, counties, then states. The Constitution tells us what the federal government should do.
The Constitution has flaws, but it was a grand experiment in limiting government and keeping power in the hands of the people.
Debt and usury, not love, unity, or freedom have been our guiding principles in the 21st Century. Between that, and granting power in money powered popularity contests and choosing the lesser evil is why America is in the trouble it's in.
Political parties are almost as much of a problem as the central bank. They make people tribal and you defend your "team" instead of thinking rationally. If we rid ourselves of parties, people would need actual positions and couldn't rely on "vote Blue no matter who." Or, have we not noticed each year nominees are MORE repulsive?
America needs an optimal environment for healing and learning. Look at our results. In public schools, we spend $21K per kid and half (50%) the kids in our GREAT schools can do math on grade level. In the worst schools, it's closer to 13%.
In America, we spend twice as much as the next nation on healthcare PER CAPITA and we get worse outcomes and millions have no health coverage. Healthcare is STILL a leading cause of bankruptcy.
Republicans and Democrats have the same answer: keep doing the same thing. That's the definition of insanity; ESPECIALLY considering it keeps getting MORE expensive.

My guiding principle is freedom. The individual is the ultimate minority. And, as Kant said, "Rationality and protecting conscious choice must be the basis for all of our moral reasoning." People are corrupt and corruptible. Limiting their impact on our lives is necessary. And, granting too much power or giving it for too long is...well, just look at our government. At the very least, it's unwise. That's the result of granting money through power and popularity.
The rest of this would be filled contrasting how politicians ARE to how I believe they SHOULD be. That's just preaching.Billy Bridges (Unaffiliated)

Demographics: Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and we don't have enough people paying into the system to maintain it. 3/4 youth can't qualify for military service due to health conditions, so healthcare and associated costs are HUGE issues. Note, That also impacts military readiness.
Debt: We owe $35T. Estimates have that doubling in 8-9 years. We borrow $1T every ~100 days. It's unsustainable. Interest on the debt is our 2nd largest expenditure behind social security. Defense is #4 behind Medicare. We need to fix the system, and quickly. End the Fed.Billy Bridges (Unaffiliated)

Polls
Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[35] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[36] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[60]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[61][62][63]

This includes spending by political party committees, super PACs, trade associations, and 501(c)(4) nonprofit groups.[64][65]
If available, satellite spending reports by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and OpenSecrets.org are linked below. FEC links include totals from monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual reports. OpenSecrets.org compiles data from those reports as well as 24- and 48-hour reports from the FEC.[66]
