Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. to run for Congress

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. said Tuesday that he would run for Congress, ending widespread speculation about his ambitions for higher office and launching what he says will be a campaign focused on continuing his county-level work and uplifting Baltimore County’s “incredible story.” U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, 78, said Friday that he would not seek a 12th term in November after serving as the representative for Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District since 2002.
