WESTERN MARYLAND – On Wednesday, Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) was in Western Maryland to celebrate her new office opening in Frederick, meet with local leaders, visit Mountain Laurel Medical Center, meet with seniors, and host a housing discussion.

At the office opening celebration, Senator Alsobrooks was joined by State Senator Karen Lewis Young, Delegate Ken Kerr, Delegate Karen Simpson, Delegate Kris Fair, County Executive Jessica Fitzwater, County Council Vice President Kavonté Duckett, County Councilman Jerry Donald, County Councilwoman M.C. Keegan-Ayer, City of Frederick Mayor Michael O’Connor, City Councilman Peter Brehm, City Councilman Derek Shackelford, City Councilwoman Sarah Hempel Irani, Former City Councilwoman Kelly Russell, Former County Executive Jan Gardner, Myersville Councilman Wayne Creadick, Jr., and dozens of constituents from Western Maryland.

Senator Alsobrooks then stopped for lunch in Hagerstown with Hagerstown Mayor Bill McIntire, Councilwoman Caroline Anderson, City Administrator Scott Nicewarner, and Councilwoman Erika Bell.

Next, Senator Alsobrooks traveled to Grantsville to visit the Federally Qualified Health Center, Mountain Laurel Medical Center. Senator Alsobrooks met with medical staff and learned about the center’s offerings, made possible in part by federal funding through the Appalachian Regional Commission.  

At Mountain Laurel Medical Center, Senator Alsobrooks was joined by Grantsville Mayor Emily Newman-Edwards, Mountain Laurel Medical Center CEO Michelle Dixon and the Mountain Laurel Medical Center staff.  

Then, the Senator spent the evening in Mountain Lake Park. First, she met with Garrett County Community Action Committee leadership, including Executive Director Chris Mullett, to discuss workforce housing and housing needs in the region. Afterwards, she met with seniors for a conversation about rising costs. 

“What I’ve seen and heard as I’ve gone around the state – and heard today in Western and Mountain Maryland – is that residents everywhere want the same things. We all want affordable health care, the ability to buy a home, groceries we can actually afford, gas that isn’t skyrocketing out of control every single day, and the opportunity to actually create generational wealth. And while we’re currently dealing with an administration that doesn’t care about solving these issues, my focus since day one has been to deliver access to affordable health care, to fight this affordability crisis clouding the nation, and to create opportunities for all Marylanders to thrive,” said Senator Alsobrooks.
