Maryland Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat, is being accused by a conservative watchdog group in an ethics complaint of submitting false financial disclosures in apparent violation of federal law.

The ethics complaint, filed on Monday by the Virginia-based National Legal and Policy Center, zeroes in on how Alsobrooks improperly claimed tax breaks that she did not qualify for, including one intended for senior citizens, on her former property in Washington, D.C. The revelation from September prompted Alsobrooks to be hit with a $47,000 tax bill, a portion of which she paid just ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5.
