Wash. PostGlenn F. Ivey, until recently the top prosecutor in Prince George’s County, is preparing to announce his candidacy for the congressional seat held by Rep. Donna F. Edwards (D-Md.).
Ivey, 50, a lawyer in private practice, has been calling prospective supporters and financial backers and has hired his former spokesman, Ramon Korionoff. Ivey declined to discuss his plans, but Korionoff confirmed them Tuesday.
“He is moving full speed ahead and laying the foundation to run for the House of Representatives,” Korionoff said in an e-mail.
Ivey’s decision to jump into the race comes as Anne Arundel County Council member G. James Benoit (D-Crownsville) said Tuesday that he will explore his own candidacy.
