"Total Wine Magnate Launches Campaign for Maryland Senate Seat"
Democratic Congressman David Trone has announced his candidacy for the Maryland Senate race, following Senator Benjamin L. Cardin's decision not to seek re-election. Trone, who is in his third term, is expected to use his personal fortune to fund his campaign, as he has done in previous elections. He is likely to face tough competition in the hotly contested Democratic primary, which could include Angela Alsobrooks and Jamie Raskin. Trone has emphasized his roots and his focus on issues such as mental health, criminal justice reform, and the opioid crisis. The filing deadline for the Maryland Senate race is Feb. 9, 2024, with the primary election scheduled for May 14, 2024.
