MD-1 is the district in question. It's mostly the Eastern Shore and NE Maryland near the PA and DE border. Lots of farms there. The ES is mostly agricultural. They had a really good candidate in the 2022 cycle, Heather Mizeur. She had a lot of statewide support, but still lost to Andy Harris. The ES wasn't ready to vote for a self-described "Lesbian Herb Farmer."

Maryland was mandated to create a majority-minority district several years ago. That's MD-4, where I live.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for getting rid of Andy Harris. He was a scumbag before MAGA, and jumped on that train. But he is bought and paid for by Big Ag. I just don't want it to be at the expense of getting a new Republican into office in a different part of MD.

And even if they went through redistricting, it's a gain of 1 EdmondDantes_ Oct 2025 #6

If I recall correctly, Missouri's new map was a gain of 1. Their map went from 6R-2D to 7R-1D In It to Win It Oct 2025 #9

Real Talk From A Maryland Resident Deep State Witch Oct 2025 #2

Yeah. More gerrymandering could easily turn into a dummymander in the wrong environment SSJVegeta Oct 2025 #8

He has a good instinct but in a midterm as the opposition it could very well be worth the gamble. SSJVegeta Oct 2025 #7
