Worcester County election leaders announced key 2026 primary and general election deadlines, early voting dates and the list of candidates running for Maryland’s 1st Congressional District seat.
"We are going to defeat Larry Hogan, keep Maryland blue and keep our Senate under Democratic control," Alsobrooks tweeted.
At the time of writing he leads the field with 60,651 votes, followed next Robin Ficker with 22,704.
Party voters in Tuesday’s primary will decide which candidate they think is in the best position to beat Hogan in November in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican senator in more than 40 years. David Trone, who’s in his third term as a congressman, and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks are the leading contenders among the 10 candidates. Some Democratic leaders worry that the fierceness of the campaign could make the race against Hogan harder.
