Democrats running for Maryland attorney general argue their experience is more relevant for the job

On their campaign websites for Maryland attorney general, Anthony Brown and Katie Curran O’Malley both list addressing gun violence as one of their priorities. They both vow to defend reproductive rights and protect and expand voting rights. And they both back the legalization of marijuana. Brown, who’s represented Maryland’s 4th Congressional District that includes parts of Anne Arundel and Prince George’s counties since 2017, and O’Malley, who most recently served as an associate judge on the District Court of Maryland in Baltimore from 2001-2021, share another connection as they seek the Democratic nomination. For eight years, Brown served as lieutenant governor under former Gov. Martin O’Malley, Katie Curran O’Malley’s husband.
