Democrat Angela Alsobrooks, who is competing in a closely-watched Maryland Senate race, raised eyebrows for aligning more with hardline Republicans than with her fellow Maryland Democrats, signaling that one of her tax policies is more in line with that of Grover Norquist than with most of Maryland’s congressional delegation.

In a survey for the National Education Association (NEA) since removed from its website, Alsobrooks checked off a series of changes she’d like to see to the U.S. tax code. She did not check “repealing the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions,” putting her at odds with her Republican opponent, the popular former governor Larry Hogan, as well as at odds with most Maryland Democrats.

The SALT deduction is a policy that allows residents to deduct their state and local taxes; Marylanders have previously utilized it more than residents of almost any other state. Most of the state’s congressional delegation, like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) have vocally opposed Alsobrooks’s position.
