U.S. Sen.-elect Angela Alsobrooks resigned as the Prince George’s County executive on Monday, setting the stage for a special election to determine who will finish out the two years remaining in her four-year term.

U.S. Rep.-elect Johnny Olszewski has yet to step down as Baltimore County executive, but he doesn’t face the same time constraints that Alsobrooks did because of differences in the two counties’ charters.

Tara Jackson, chief administrative officer for Prince George’s County, assumed the role of acting executive following Alsobrooks’ departure.

A top adviser to the last two leaders of the House of Delegates will leave her post at the end of the year.

Alexandra Hughes, 44, will be missing from her usual spot on the rostrum within earshot of House Speaker Adrienne Jones when the 2022 session starts. A fixture in the speaker’s office for 15 years, Hughes will leave to start her own Annapolis public relations firm.

The change, and word of her successor, was part of an announcement from Jones Friday morning and an earlier Maryland Matters report.
