House candidates in safe Md. races still rush for campaign cash
Although their primary victories in May essentially cinched that they would be joining Congress in January, two Maryland Democrats, state Sen. Sarah K. Elfreth (D-Anne Arundel) and Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. (D) continue to raise and spend money at a rapid clip.
They’re following the lead of veteran House members in the Free State.
Campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission last week showed that both candidates raised more than $200,000 over the previous three months, even though they don’t have to much to sweat in the general election. Elfreth has raised more than $2 million since becoming a candidate for the open 3rd District seat late last year, while Olszewski has raised more than $1.3 million since joining the open seat 2nd District race earlier this year.
Of Maryland’s eight congressional seats, only the open 6th District, where Republican Neil C. Parrott and Democrat April McClain Delaney are competing to replace U.S. Rep. David Trone (D), is competitive.
