State and Federal Primary: Preview of Election Races

  • by Stephen Lotz

Maryland’s primary election will take place on June 23. Greenbelt voters will see seven federal and state races on the ballot, ranging from House of Delegates to governor, with no ballot measures included.

Governor

In the governor’s race, incumbent Wes Moore currently faces one Democrat challenger, Eric Felber, while Republicans have a crowded slate of candidates, including 2022 candidate Dan Cox. Other Republicans running are Carl Brunner Jr., L.D. Burkindine, Ed Hale, Douglas Larcomb, John Myrick and Michael Oakes. The lieutenant governor race mirrors those tickets, as candidates run in pairs.

4th Congressional District

At the federal level, in the 4th Congressional District, Rep. Glenn Ivey faces six Democratic challengers: Khyre Edwards, Anthony Field, Joseph Gomes, Shavonne Hedgepeth, Jakeya Johnson and Jonathan White. One Republican, George McDermott, is running.

Attorney General and Comptroller

Several statewide offices are uncontested on the Democratic side, including Attorney General Anthony G. Brown and Comptroller Brooke Lierman. Republican Sonya Dunn is also running for Comptroller, and Republican James B. Rutledge, III is running for Attorney General. 

District 22 Races

Locally, State Sen. Alonzo Washington is running for reelection. Republican Jim Wass is also seeking the seat. 

In the House of Delegates race, four Democrats, Tracy Gant, Craig Hayes and Molly McKee-Seabrook, along with incumbent Ashanti Martinez, are competing for three seats. Two current delegates will not be seeking reelection. Anne Healey is retiring after 35 years in the House and Nicole Williams is running for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District.
