Maryland election: Who is running for U.S. House District 1 and Senate

The field running against incumbent U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, includes 10 Republicans and one Democrat.  Rep. Andy Harris faces the redrawing of his 1st District, much the sticking point as the state’s lone Republican congressman faces three Democrats.  The Court of Appeals, while weighing in on the new Maryland Congressional Map, had already had delayed the state’s primary for all elections from June 28 to July 19. Other important dates: Mail-in ballot for the primary election must be received by July 12; and by Nov. 1 for the general election.
