Democrats will decide who should battle to reclaim the governor’s mansion from Republicans, a contest Democrats have lost more times than they have won in the last two decades despite an overwhelming advantage in voter registration.
Republicans will select among four candidates in a race that has exposed fractures within the party. The front-runners represent the pragmatic wing and the Trumpian wing of the party, with former Maryland commerce secretary Kelly M. Schulz, a mentee of term-limited Gov. Larry Hogan, and state Del. Daniel L. Cox of Frederick, who is endorsed by former president Donald Trump.
For attorney general, the Republican candidates are former Montgomery County election board president Jim Shalleck and former Anne Arundel County Council member Michael Peroutka.The Democratic race for attorney general has been among the most contentious of the season, pitting U.S. Rep. Anthony G. Brown against former district judge Katie Curran O’Malley.
Perez is banking on a huge showing in Montgomery County, where he has lived for three decades and has been a prominent political figure, both as a local former County Council member and a national fixture in Democratic politics. He has recorded ads in Spanish and done outreach to other communities where he said candidates are often overlooked.
