John Bolton airing TV ad attacking Angela Alsobrooks

[teran]

1. I've seen the ad

And I saw that it was from Bolton's PAC, but I had no idea he grew up in Baltimore. Learn something new every day.

It's hard to find up-to-the-minute crime statistics, but from what I have seen at least some of the numbers he cites about PGCo are definitely spurious.

I live in PG, and I like Angela Alsobrooks. I am concerned, however, about her campaign. Larry Hogan was a popular Republican governor is a reliably blue state. I am getting the sense that the Alsobrooks campaign may be taking too much for granted, not unlike Anthony Brown's run for governor in 2014. I think there are a sizable number of more centrist Marylanders who are willing to split the ticket.
