Lierman named winner in Democratic primary for comptroller over Adams

Maryland state Del. Brooke Lierman appeared to secure the Democratic nomination for state comptroller on Tuesday night, leading Bowie Mayor Tim Adams by more than 95,000 votes. Lierman, a delegate who’s represented the city of Baltimore since 2015, had amassed 64% of the vote with 95% of Election Day precincts and all early voting centers reporting results around midnight. She was projected as winner of the contest by the Associated Press on Tuesday night, and later declared victory in a series of tweets.
