Carroll County will have several new representatives in the State House next session

Carroll County will soon have several new representatives in the Maryland House of Delegates. In July, voters chose from among eight candidates in the Republican primary for District 5 and among two Republican candidates in District 42C. There were no candidates from the Democratic Party in either race, so the winners of the Republican primaries are the presumptive winners of the election. District 5, which covers most of the geographic area of Carroll, has three representatives in the House of Delegates. Two of the three delegates who have represented Carroll in Annapolis for the last four years did not run for reelection.
