| Description | John LaFerla, the Chestertown physician who narrowly lost the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District in April, has won the party’s support to challenge Republican Rep. Andy Harris as a write-in candidate, he said Friday.
LaFerla would replace primary winner Wendy Rosen, who withdrew from the race this week amid allegations that she was registered and had voted in Maryland and Florida. Her name will remain on the Nov. 6 ballot because the deadline to remove it has passed.
LaFerla said the 12 Democratic central committees in the 1st District, which includes the Eastern Shore and parts of Baltimore, Harford, Carroll and Cecil counties, had voted to support him in November.
“We’re ready to fight for every vote in all 12 counties,” he said in a statement. |
