The race between former congresswoman Donna Edwards and former Prince George's state's attorney Glenn Ivey has seen millions of dollars in outside spending.
with former Prince George’s County state’s attorney Glenn Ivey that has attracted millions of dollars in outside spending. The race has become an example of the unchecked influence that national special-interest groups can wield in politics, even though voters in the 4th District, anchored in Prince George’s, have indicated they are largely focused on local issues about public safety and gun violence and also the cost of living in a strapped economy.
A new super-PAC affiliated with the pro-Israel American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, which endorsed Ivey, has spent nearly $6 million against Edwards, flooding the airwaves with ads bashing her constituent services while in office. Edwards has sought to overcome those attacks by leveraging her reputation as a four-term liberal congresswoman with backing from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , who defended Edwards as “one of the most effective” lawmakers during her time in Congress.
Former delegate Angela Angel and several others are also seeking the nomination for the 4th District seat, which came open because Rep. Anthony Brown decided to run instead for state attorney general., because Maryland law does not allow election workers to begin counting the state’s hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots until Thursday. Even then, it could take several more days or longer for workers to finish hand-counting them, state elections officials have said.
Maryland’s six other incumbent House Democrats are on the ballot but do not face competitive primary challengers. Neither does U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen ., is unopposed in his 1st District primary. But two Democrats, former delegate Heather Mizeur and former U.S. Foreign Service officer Dave Harden, are running for the right to challenge Harris, a staunch ally of former president Donald Trump, in November.
Republicans’ most exciting matchup is in Western Maryland’s 6th Congressional District, which political observers consider the Maryland GOP’s best chance to flip a seat red. Several Republicans are facing off Tuesday for the chance to challenge Rep.
