Captain Larry’s, the small bar in South Baltimore’s Riverside neighborhood, was packed wall to wall on a Thursday night. Some people spilled onto the sidewalk through the open door. The crowd formed a circle around Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic nominee to fill Maryland’s soon-to-be-vacant seat in the U.S. Senate, as she delivered a version of her stump speech. She touched on a range of issues, from Baltimore’s once-promised Red Line to reproductive rights, before turning to what seemed to be the crux of her message.
