| Description | Former congressman Wayne Gilchrest and Chestertown physician John LaFerla are emerging as possible opponents to incumbent Andy Harris in the race for Maryland’s 1st District U.S. House seat.
Following the forced resignation of Wendy Rosen amidst allegations of voter registration fraud, the Maryland Democratic Party is actively looking for a candidate to challenge Harris in November.
Democrats originally hoped to replace Rosen’s name on the ballot, later learning the deadline for that was Aug. 28 — and their only option would be to field a write-in candidate.
LaFerla’s name quickly popped up in Democratic conversations, since Rosen narrowly defeated him in the primary. But Gilchrest, who represented the Eastern Shore in Washington for nearly two decades, said Thursday that he, too, might be interested. |
