Rabbi Menken here. America has abandoned its moral center. In fact, 83% of Americans agree that we’re in a moral decline. Our nation has replaced Biblical Values with the false idol of humanism and moral relativism, but we’re not staying silent and neither should you. Will you join the Coalition for Jewish Values and support our nationwide efforts to restore the Biblical foundations of America?

Alsobrooks is a Democrat and serves as the county executive of Prince George’s County in Maryland, which is one of its largest Black counties.

Moore’s support could change the race for the Senate. Moore’s backing, as the only Black governor in the country, could help Alsobrooks and Maryland make history next year. She would become the first Black woman senator from Maryland if elected.

Alsobrooks will join newly-appointed California Senator Laphonza Butler, who is the only Black woman senator.

Before Butler, only two Black women had served in the Senate: Carol Moseley Braun from Illinois and Vice President Harris who was elected to be one of California’s senators.

Rep. David Trone is a businessman who represents the Democratic Party. Will Jawando, a Montgomery County Council member (D), dropped out of his Senate campaign on Friday. He endorsed Alsobrooks Monday.
