only two of Maryland's current U.S. representatives were born here: Johnny Olszewski and Kweisi Mfume. Harris and Hoyer were born in NYC, Elfreth was born in Barrington NJ, Ivey was born in the suburbs of Boston and grew up in Rocky Mount, Delaney was born in Idaho, and Raskin was born in DC

what makes this quote even more baffling is that no MD state senator has lost their primary since 2018, and of the small # of Democratic primaries that involved an incumbent vs a challenger in 2022, only one of them came close to being unseated! every other incumbent won their primary by 30+ points!

at this time, there's only a handful of senators who have primary challengers, so you really gotta wonder who he's talking about here!

also from this article: anti-redistricting Sen. Ben Kramer (D-Montgomery County) said that he and other state senators are backing Ferguson's opposition to redistricting because they're afraid of giving their primary challengers more time to campaign against them

raskin and boebert have actually been friends since the spring of 2023, according to this (sorry for linking the baltimore sun): www.baltimoresun.com/2025/08/05/j...
Political opposites Jamie Raskin and Lauren Boebert form unlikely friendship
Their relationship may surprise an untold number of Americans who consider rival party members abhorrent, but political opposites Jamie Raskin and Lauren Boebert have formed an unlikely friendship.

The Sinclair Sun published an article containing the responses to Ferguson's letter from various legislators, and one of them, Charles Sydnor III, said that he would sue to overturn any new congressional map passed by the MDGA. Are we just obsessed with losing? www.baltimoresun.com/2025/10/29/b...
![State Sen. Charles Sydnor, a member of Maryland’s Legislative Black Caucus (LBC), told The Sun the issue of redistricting is “raw” for him because of recent debates over minority representation on the Baltimore County Council. Just because a state can decrease the representation afforded to racial or political minorities “doesn’t make it right,” he said.
“[Texas Republicans] are completely wrong for doing what they’re doing,” Sydnor said. “It’s kind of like, because somebody bullied you, you’re going to bully somebody. You don’t become what you don’t like.”
Echoing Ferguson, Sydnor added that he would “guarantee” that any map redrawn to have eight Democratic seats would be challenged in court.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n3zii55yrfxnomjogwqd6z56/bafkreidle5gxnwih3x2ox2rtqednyqlxx5bblqxmltjucc2uhaqvg3tud4@jpeg)

and even under a 5D-2C-1R map, dems would be favored in the two competitive districts. the geography is just that bad for Rs in MD

5D-2C-1R is the best possible map MD Rs could get, but 6D-2R is more likely if the SCoMD overturns the new map. but even then, i don’t think Ferguson really looked into their ruling on MD’s state leg map in 2022, which IMO shows an 8D-0R map would likely survive a challenge bsky.app/profile/chri...
looking back at the SCOMD's 4-3 decision (which would likely be 5-2 now since one of the dissenting justices retired and was replaced by a Moore appointee last year) on maryland's legislative redistricting plan, i guess cleanness doesn't actually matter all too much... so the LRAC map might be fine

yep, it switched from Prince George's County to Charles County just over three years ago! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Analysis | Is Prince George’s still the richest majority-Black county in America?
The best data shows neighboring Charles County has become majority-Black in recent years, and incomes there are much higher than in Prince George's County.
