When Congressman John Sarbanes (Congressional District 3 in Maryland) announced he would not seek reelection in 2024 many of us guessed there might be a decent number of candidates that would enter the race for that open seat. I do not think anyone could have guessed that the day after the filing deadline in Maryland we would have a total of 31 candidates running this cycle for that seat.
On the Democratic side we have a total of 22 candidates that have filed to run for Congressional District 3. I believe that these are the candidates to watch closely in this race:
- Sarah Elfreth
- Clarence Lam
- Harry Anthony Dunn
- Mike Rogers
- Terri Hill
- Mark S. Chang
On the Republican side we have a total of 9 candidates that have filed to run for Congressional District 3. I do not yet have a good feel for the top GOP candidates in this race but these are some of the names I am currently watching:
- Berney Flowers
- Robert J. Steinberger
- Jordan Mayo
- Naveed Mian
- Arthur Radford Baker, Jr
