Work to reduce gas prices.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign released an ad featuring Vice President Kamala Harris speaking to Alsobrooks' record and her commitment to lowering costs and creating opportunity for all Marylanders.
Alsobrooks said she voted for War Powers Resolutions to end the President's war with Iran and stated that gas prices had dramatically spiked, ending with: End the war. Save American lives. Lower our costs.
Alsobrooks voted Yea on the motion to discharge S.J.Res.114, a joint resolution to direct removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran; the motion was rejected 46-51. She also voted Yea on Hickenlooper amendment No. 4956, relating to protecting consumers from price increases associated with tariffs and the Iran war; that motion was rejected 47-51.
The release says Senator Alsobrooks also filed amendments including an amendment that would direct the Senate to work to reduce gas prices.
Senate floor activity records amendment SA 5294 proposed by Senator Alsobrooks, a point of order raised against it, the motion to waive budget discipline rejected 47-51, and amendment SA 5294 ruled out of order by the chair.
EIA-sourced weekly data showed U.S. regular retail gasoline at $4.49 per gallon for the week of May 18, 2026, up from $3.12 one year earlier.
Assessments
Alsobrooks took same-term Senate actions tied to reducing gas prices, including filing a gas-price-related budget amendment and voting for measures she linked to lowering costs. But the cited measures were rejected or ruled out of order, and the available price evidence shows gasoline prices were higher year over year by May 2026. This supports serious effort but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
