DEFEATED INCUMBENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In northern Frederick County, Del. Michael Hough<\/strong> easily defeated incumbent Sen. David Brinkley (68-32) for the Republican Senate Nomination in District 4. Another victory for the right-wing of the Republican Party and Sam Arora’s one positive takeaway from the night is that he helped elect a more extreme conservative.<\/p>\n

On the southern Eastern Shore, Del. Addie Eckardt<\/strong> defeated incumbent Sen. Richard Colburn in District 37 (57-43). This change should improve this district’s representation.<\/p>\n

FAILED COMEBACK BIDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Harford County, Del. Mary Dulany-James<\/strong> easily beat former Sen. Art Helton (61-39) to win the Democratic Senate nomination in District 34.<\/p>\n

On the Eastern Shore, Sen. Stephen Hershey<\/strong> defeated former Del. Richard Sossi for the Republican nomination in District 36 (56-44). Hershey had narrowly edged out Sossi in 2010 for a delegate seat before winning appointment to the Senate.<\/p>\n

In Baltimore County, Sen. Jim Brochin<\/strong> easily turned back a challenge from former Del. Connie DeJuliis (69-31) for the Democratic nomination in District 42. DeJuliis had the support of Gov. Martin O’Malley while Senate President Mike Miller notably did not back Brochin.<\/p>\n

UNSUCCESSFUL CHALLENGES BY DELEGATES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Incumbent senators successfully faced down challenges from delegates in Prince George’s. In District 25, incumbent Sen. Uly Currie<\/strong> faced down Del. Melony Griffith (58-38-3). Lamentably, Conservative Sen. Anthony Muse<\/strong> defeated Del. Veronica Turner in District 26\u00a0 (51-33-9-7).<\/p>\n

OTHER INTERESTING RACES<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Baltimore City District 43, Sen. Joan Carter Conway<\/strong> defeated City Councilman Bill Henry (65-35). In District 45, Sen. Nathaniel McFadden<\/strong> destroyed operative Julius Henson (81-19).<\/p>\n

In Prince George’s District 24, Sen. Joanne Benson<\/strong> fought off a challenge from Bobby Henry, Jr. (56-44). In District 47, Latino Sen. Victor Ramirez<\/strong> defeated African-American challenger Walter Lee James. Jr. (69-31).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
