2024 MD Senate race: on Education

Angela Alsobrooks: Equitable funding for schools rather than property taxes

Angela sees one of the fundamental mistakes made in the country is relying on local jurisdictions funded primarily by property taxes as the primary source of school funding. She strongly opposes this approach as it results in unequal educational opportunities, with the quality of a child's education being determined by their zip code. Angela firmly believes that we should expand Title I funding and that the burden of education should be lifted off of local budgets.

Student Financial Aid

Angela Alsobrooks (D): Yes. Supports Biden's student loan forgiveness plan and "improving access to low interest student loans." Would expand Pell Grants to assist low-income students.
Larry Hogan (R): No. Biden's plan is "a really bad idea at the worst possible time." Supported student loan tax credits, scholarships, and capping tuition growth as other solutions.
