Maryland Democrats choose nominees for US House, including a successor for longtime Rep. Steny Hoyer
Nine Republican candidates and 24 Democrats are competing as heavy spending and a ballot mix-up shape key races for Congress and governor.
- Maryland Democrats headed to the polls Tuesday for a highly anticipated primary election featuring multi-candidate field scrambles for several open and critical congressional seats.
- The spotlight centered on replacing 20-term Rep. Steny Hoyer, who officially opted against running for re-election in the state’s solidly Democratic 5th Congressional District, setting off a massive crowd of eager contenders.
- The 5th District primary evolved into a high-stakes battleground, headlined by prominent local figures including former Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker III, Bowie City Councilman Adrian Boafo—who secured Hoyer's personal endorsement—and former U.S. Capitol Police officer and activist Harry Dunn.
- A parallel political heavyweight battle unfolded in the 6th District, where the Democratic nomination became a fierce competition between former total-wealth congressional candidate David Trone and incumbent Representative April McClain Delaney.
- Incumbents elsewhere easily maintained solid footholds across the state, with firmly established Democratic Representatives Johnny Olszewski , Sarah Elfreth , and Glenn Ivey all entering the primary night heavily favored to secure their respective nominations.
