This Maryland State Senate race could be one of the most competitive districts in Maryland. Phil Jimeno announced in early May that he would not be seeking re-election. Firebrand conservative Don Dwyer announced in May that he would forego re-election and seek this seat, but quit the race one month later. With five candidates seeking the seat, the Republican primary will be extremely competitive.
