Maryland’s Democratic voters stood by incumbents in races for governor and several U.S. House races, including the 6th District, which saw Rep. April McClain Delaney defeat her predecessor and six other primary challengers to win her party’s nomination.

When the Associated Press called the race late Tuesday, she led with 43.8% to David Trone’s 37.4% of the vote. McClain Delaney will face Republican Robin Ficker in November.

But in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District, the incumbent did not run for the first time in more than four decades. Against a field of 23 other candidates, Maryland Del. Adrian Boafo, the candidate longtime U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer anointed as his successor, won the Democratic nomination.

Boafo had 32.1% of the votes counted when the AP called the race.

As he celebrated his victory Tuesday, Boafo paid tribute to Hoyer, who was first elected to Congress in 1981.

“No one has had the kind of impact on Maryland’s 5th congressional district as Steny Hoyer has, and frankly, maybe never will,” Boafo told supporters.听“Steny and I both believe in the power of the Congress to deliver for people and help communities everywhere make it in Maryland and make it in听America.”

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore handily defeated his only challenger in the Democratic primary election and is heading for a rematch with former state delegate Dan Cox. Moore and Cox faced each other the 2022 governor’s race.

The AP called the race for Moore 14 minutes after polls closed. He won 89.4% of the votes counted. Cox was declared the Republican nominee with 44.5% of the vote.

In the听GOP primary for Maryland’s 1st District, Rep. Andy Harris breezed past his lone opponent.

Harris’ district has leaned Republican for most of the past 45 years. A handful of Democratic primary candidates were vying to take him on in November.

Another go at the governorship

In 2022, Cox won the GOP primary for governor and was endorsed by then-former President Donald Trump, only to lose with 37% of the vote to Moore, at the time a political newcomer.

Cox represented Carroll and Frederick counties from 2019 through 2023 as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates. He competed with eight other Republicans for a shot at a rematch.

One was Ed Hale, a retired banker from Baltimore. Hale, a self-described lifelong Democrat, announced he was switching parties at the same time he announced his gubernatorial campaign in 2025.

Moore faced one primary challenger. Eric Felber is a physician with a family medicine clinic in Bethesda. He previously ran against Rep. Jamie Raskin in the 2024 Democratic primary for Maryland’s 8th District, losing with 5.2% of the vote.

After nearly 5 decades, a new face in Maryland’s 5th

The 5th District is heading for a generational shift as Hoyer, the longest-serving Democrat in the U.S. House, moves aside after 46 years.

Boafo’s challengers included Rushern Baker III, a former Maryland delegate and Prince George鈥檚 County Executive; current Prince George’s Council member Wala Blegay; and Harry Dunn, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer who is suing to block President Donald Trump鈥檚 1.8 billion Jan. 6 fund.

The district stretches from northern Prince George鈥檚 and western Anne Arundel counties through Southern Maryland.

Millionaire vs. billionaire in Maryland’s 6th District

McClain Delaney, running for a second term in Congress, was defending her seat from the man she succeeded in the office and six other Democrats.

Trone, a three-term congressman, ran for Senate in 2024 and lost the primary to Angela Alsobrooks. At the time, he endorsed Delaney’s House bid.

Federal Election Commission data show both candidates spent millions of dollars of their own money on this and previous campaigns.

Delaney’s wealth comes from her husband John Delaney, a Forbright Bank founder who represented the 6th District before Trone.

Trone, who told 小萝莉影视’s Kate Ryan that money is a problem in politics, is the billionaire cofounder of Total Wine & More.

The sprawling 6th District stretches from western Maryland to part of Montgomery County.

Democrats compete for a chance to flip Maryland’s 1st District

Of the state鈥檚 eight U.S. House members, Rep. Andy Harris is the only Republican. Maryland Democrats would like to make it nine for nine, but after an unsuccessful redistricting bid earlier this year, the only place to do so this election cycle is at the ballot box.

Harris has represented the Eastern Shore and parts of Baltimore County in Congress since 2010.

Four Democrats were competing for the chance to flip Maryland鈥檚 1st District in November: Victor Allen Guidice, Dan Schwartz, George Walish and Randi White.

Harris also had a GOP primary challenger. Chris Bruneau, a veteran and business owner, campaigned on term limits, cutting federal spending and Veterans Affairs oversight.

Prince George鈥檚, Montgomery County executives

In Prince George’s County, County Executive Aisha Braveboy succeeded in defending a seat she’s held for only a year. And in Montgomery County, term limits prevented Marc Elrich from running for the post again.

Braveboy was declared the Democratic nominee after winning 71.3% of the votes counted. She became the Prince George’s County Executive in 2025, in a leadership shuffle that followed predecessor Angela Alsobrooks’ U.S. Senate win in 2024.

Braveboy鈥檚 challengers in the Democratic primary were Billy W. Bridges, Marcellus Crews, Charnell D. Ferguson and Gregory Holmes. There was no Republican candidate.

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich has to step aside after serving two four-year terms. The five Democrats vying to replace him were Mithun Banerjee, Peter James and County Council members Andrew Friedson, Evan Glass and Will Jawando.

Jawando was leading the Democrats late Tuesday with 40.6% of the vote.

The Republican candidates were Shelly Skolnick and Esther Wells.

Elrich did not sit out this election, however. He ran for an at-large seat on the county council and had a slight lead over incumbent Laurie-Anne Sayles just before midnight.
