Final numbers took a little while longer to be counted than usual, as election officials did not start counting the mail-in ballots until Thursday, two days after primary day.
Democrats hold seven of the state’s eight House seats, with Rep. Andy Harris, representing the 1st District, as the sole Republican.
On Tuesday, the Democratic incumbents breezed through their races. However, the results for the winners in the 4th District took a bit longer to be declared, as it is an open seat. The current officeholder, Rep. Anthony Brown, gave up his seat to make a bid for Maryland attorney general, in which he was declared the Democratic candidate.
Former Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Glenn Ivey was declared the projected winner of the Democratic primary for the 4th District House seat. Ivey will face Republican candidate Jeff Warner.
