Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, has been accused of improperly benefiting from tax breaks she did not qualify for, including one intended for low-income senior citizens, according to an investigation by CNN.

The report scrutinized the tax records of two properties Alsobrooks owns: one in Washington, D.C., and another in Prince George’s County. It found that she claimed homestead tax exemptions on both properties for more than a decade, violating state and local tax relief rules that allow the exemption only for a homeowner’s primary residence.

Records show Alsobrooks has been registered to vote in Prince George’s County, where she has served as county executive since 1995, and does not live in D.C. However, she allegedly claimed the homestead exemption for her D.C. property from 2005 to 2017, saving roughly $14,000 through a tax break intended for senior citizens, which she did not qualify for. It is believed that her grandparents, the previous property owners, were likely eligible for the credit before Alsobrooks took ownership.

The report also alleges that Alsobrooks claimed the homestead exemption for her Maryland property, which she purchased in 2005 while renting, another violation of the tax relief terms. The improper use of the exemption is estimated to have saved her at least $2,600 since 2020.
