Angela Alsobrooks Took Illegal Tax Breaks, Costing Taxpayers Thousands

Angela Alsobrooks, the Democrat U.S. Senate nominee from Maryland, is under fire for reportedly saving thousands of dollars in taxes by claiming exemptions she didn’t qualify for. According to a CNN report, Alsobrooks improperly claimed tax breaks on two separate properties one in Washington, D.C., and one in Maryland over the course of more than a decade.

The report shows Alsobrooks benefited from D.C.’s homestead tax exemption, which is meant to apply only to primary residences. She also saved $14,000 in taxes by taking advantage of exemptions reserved for lower-income residents and senior citizens two categories she does not fall into. To make matters worse, Alsobrooks reportedly continued to claim Maryland’s homestead exemption on a property she rented out.

In total, Alsobrooks saved thousands of dollars in taxes over a 12-year period by violating state and local tax laws. This has raised serious questions about her ethics, especially as she campaigns to represent Marylanders in the U.S. Senate. Her campaign has brushed off the issue, with advisers claiming Alsobrooks was unaware of the violations, despite benefiting financially for years.

While Alsobrooks’ team has tried to deflect attention by accusing her opponent, former Governor Larry Hogan, of similar misconduct, the facts tell a different story. CNN’s report clarifies that Hogan’s tax breaks were completely legal, as governors and federal officials are exempt from residency requirements.

Meanwhile, Maryland Republicans have called for a full investigation. “Angela Alsobrooks saved thousands in taxes by fraudulently claiming tax deductions that she was not eligible for on multiple properties in Prince George’s County and DC,” the Maryland Republican Party said in a statement. The party emphasized the need for a thorough probe to uncover the full extent of Alsobrooks' alleged fraud before voters head to the polls.

Key Facts:

• $14,000 in taxes saved on her D.C. home by claiming exemptions for primary residents, lower-income residents, and seniors, all of which Alsobrooks did not qualify for.

• Homestead exemption was claimed on two properties simultaneously, a violation of tax rules that require it to only apply to one primary residence.

• Alsobrooks continued claiming Maryland’s homestead exemption even after renting out the property.

This scandal is just another example of how Democrat politicians like Alsobrooks feel entitled to bend the rules for personal gain, even as they push for higher taxes on the rest of us. Maryland voters deserve to know the full truth about Alsobrooks’ actions before casting their ballots.
