Montgomery Dems pick Edwards

By Politicker Staff

In a 22-1 vote, the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee selected Donna Edwards as the party's nominee in the June 17 special election. Jason Jennings received one vote.

Edwards won the Democratic nomination last February over incumbent Rep. Al Wynn, who is stepping down on May 31 for the private sector. In response to the vacancy, Gov. Martin O'Malley and the state legislature created a bill allowing a party's central committee to select a nominee under certain circumstances, thereby proceeding directly to a special general election.

Dismisses Special Election Plan

Dr. Jim Pelura, Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, stated his firm opposition to holding a special election for the soon-to-be vacant Fourth District House seat, instead calling on Rep. Al Wynn to “fulfill his commitment” and not “abandon his constituents for a lucrative job offer.”

“By leaving early, his constituents are either going to be left without representation or Marylanders are going to be left holding the $2 million price tag to fill the vacant seat,” Pelura said in a statement.
