“The women that I work with know me, without knowing me intimately, because we probably have had similar paths to get here,” said Joy Russell, Alsobrooks’s chief of staff. 
Tiffany Green, who last year became the first female fire chief in county history, put it this way:
Alsobrooks is the first woman to govern the suburb. Of Maryland’s 23 counties, only Prince George’s is led by a Black woman.
“I would like for people to say, ‘This is why we give women these chances — they do excellent work,’ ” Alsobrooks said. wapo.st/3aOtAUx
