MARYLAND

The Senate: No Race...


The House:...

  • Maryland's 4th congressional district: After edging out political upstart Donna Edwards in 2006, Democratic Congressman Al Wynn (D) was soundly defeated by her in the Democratic primary in 2008. The primary had become increasingly negative, with Edwards accusing Wynn of supporting special interest legislation and Wynn accusing Edwards of failing to pay taxes during the 1990s.[88] Wynn has announced that he will be leaving Congress early in June to take up a job at a lobbying firm which could trigger a special election for the seat.[89] Edwards will face Republican Peter James and Green Party candidate Brian Crider[90] in the general election, though the district is overwhelmingly Democratic (CPVI=D+30).
Pending Special Elections:
Maryland's 4th congressional district: Incumbent Albert Wynn (D), who lost his battle for renomination to Donna Edwards (D) in Maryland's March primary, resigned his seat on May 31, 2008. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has called for a special election to occur on June 17, 2008.[3] The district is heavily Democratic.[4] Edwards will face her November Republican opponent Peter James.[5]
