U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Dist. 8) is set to announce his endorsement of April McClain Delaney (D) for the Democratic nomination in the race for Maryland’s Congressional District 6 at a press conference on Saturday in Frederick, according to a news release from the McClain Delaney campaign. Raskin’s pending announcement marks one of the highest profile endorsements for McClain Delaney, a former top official of the U.S. Commerce Department, who is a frontrunner along with state Del. Joe Vogel (D-Dist. 17) in a crowded field of Democratic candidates vying for the 6th District seat in the May 14 primary election. Six Republicans are also running.
