The race to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-2nd) has been overshadowed by the races for an open Senate seat and open House seats in the 3rd and 6th congressional districts. But Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. (D) seems well-equipped to head to Capitol Hill at the beginning of 2025. Olszewski easily prevailed in the 2nd District Democratic primary Tuesday, taking 78% of the vote compared to just under 9% for his nearest competitor, state Del. Harry Bhandari (D-Baltimore County).
