Alsobrooks Statement on Corporation for Public Broadcasting Closing

August 2, 2025
WASHINGTON, DC– Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement in response to the news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will close following Republicans slashing funding for public broadcasting.
“From the mountains of Western Maryland to Baltimore to the Eastern Shore, Maryland relies on public broadcasting. The closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will be felt in every community, in our schools, in our homes, and in times of emergency and distress. Let’s call it for what it is: Republicans didn’t like the truth being reported, so they silenced those who speak it.”
