As Republians snooze, drama is building in Annapolis Democratic primaries

Democrats have had a majority on the City Council in Annapolis for decades. Five of the last seven mayors have been Democrats. With little more than a month to go until the filing deadline for the September primary, there are signs that this trend may continue. Chief among them is the number of Republicans actively running so far. Only one has stepped forward to run for a council seat — the one being vacated by the lone Republican alderman now on the council.
