As the Primary Approaches, Some Legislative Teams Are More Fractured Than Others

At least two state senators are actively working to defeat House incumbents in their districts in party primaries, where early voting begins Thursday. In Baltimore City’s District 45, state Sen. Cory McCray (D) has assembled a ticket with two House candidates that pointedly does not include Del. Stephanie Smith (D). And in Montgomery County’s District 39, state Sen. Nancy King (D) and two of the district’s House members are hoping to defeat the other incumbent delegate, Gabriel Acevero (D).
