April McClain Delaney elected in Md. 6th Congressional District
Democrat April McClain Delaney has defeated former state Del. Neil Parrott (R-Washington County) in the race to succeed Maryland Congressman David Trone in the state’s 6th Congressional District.
Delaney, a former Commerce Department official who is married to former Maryland Congressman John Delaney, defeated Parrott by a 52-48 percent margin. “Since the beginning of this campaign, our message has been clear: It’s time for common sense, common ground leadership that puts people over politics, defends our freedoms and values, and builds a future centered on unity,” said Delaney in a statement her campaign released on Nov.
8. Parrott, who Delaney’s campaign ads noted he once said people who test positive for HIV should be tattooed, has yet to concede.
Congressman Andy Harris, who won re-elected in the state’s 1st Congressional District, is the only Republican member of Maryland’s congressional delegation.
