Will Jawando Withdraws from Maryland's U.S. Senate Race

Montgomery County Council Member Will Jawando has dropped out of the Maryland Senate race, leaving Rep. David Trone and Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks as the main contenders for the Democratic nomination. Jawando cited lackluster fundraising and a belief that he could not win as reasons for his withdrawal. Trone has invested nearly $10 million of his personal fortune into his campaign, while Alsobrooks has garnered support from top Democrats in the state. Maryland's U.S. Senate seat is open as incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin plans to retire at the end of his term.

"Trone announces bid for open Maryland Senate seat, Hogan declines interest"

Rep. David Trone, founder of Total Wine & More, has officially launched his bid for the Democratic nomination to replace retiring Sen. Ben Cardin in Maryland. Trone is the second candidate to enter what is likely to be a crowded primary for an open Democratic-leaning Senate seat. His primary competition is likely to include Montgomery County Council Member Will Jawando and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. Trone is willing to invest tens of millions of dollars into his statewide run, and his campaign manager will be Dan Morrocco. The biggest remaining question mark is whether Rep. Jamie Raskin will enter the race.

Will Jawando Enters Race for Maryland's Open Senate Seat

Will Jawando, a Montgomery County Council Member, has become the first candidate to officially announce his candidacy for Maryland's open Senate seat, following Sen. Ben Cardin's announcement that he would not seek a fourth term. Jawando, who previously worked in the Obama administration, enters the Democratic primary as a long shot, with other prominent figures likely to put themselves forth for this safe Democratic seat, including Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, U.S. Reps. David Trone and Jamie Raskin. If elected, Jawando would be the first person of color to represent Maryland in the Senate.
