The two Democratic primary candidates in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District share more in common than their burning desire to unseat the Republican incumbent.
Former Montgomery County delegate Heather Mizeur and career foreign service officer David Harden both say they became motivated to run by their outrage over the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.
Each campaign focuses on reviving the district’s economy, expanding healthcare and sparking innovative environmental solutions among farmers and watermen. And each one thinks they can earn enough traditionally conservative votes — in the state’s most Republican-leaning district — to beat six-term Congressman Andy Harris.
They must convince district Democrats voting in the July 19 primary to tag them into the race first.
