A conservative watchdog group is accusing Maryland Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat, of unlawfully using state campaign funds to boost her federal bid.

Americans for Public Trust, a Virginia-based nonprofit organization, filed a complaint Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission against Alsobrooks, demanding the agency investigate the candidate’s finances. The FEC, Americans for Public Trust said, should look into whether Alsobrooks violated federal rules by spending roughly $18,000 on fundraising expenses from a state committee tied to her role as executive of Prince George’s County, Maryland, only after Alsobrooks became a U.S. Senate candidate in May 2023.
