Here is where several candidates stand on several key issues. Ten Democrats will appear on the ballot: former Prince George’s County executive Rushern L. Baker III, who suspended his campaign last month; former government worker and nonprofit executive Jon Baron; State Comptroller Peter Franchot; former Maryland attorney general Doug Gansler; Ralph W. Jaffe, a retired teacher; Ashwani Jain, a local program director for the National Kidney Foundation; former U.S. education secretary John B. King Jr.; author and former nonprofit chief Wes Moore; former Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez; and Jerome M. Segal, a philosopher and activist.
