There has been growing speculation in recent weeks that Rep. John Delaney (D-MD) has plans on entering the Maryland race for governor. Delaney is a first-time lawmaker and a former banking executive.
Donald Norris, public policy professor and chair, was interviewed for an article published January 22 in The Baltimore Sun about the possibility of Delaney entering the race. He commented that Delaney is likely attempting to boost his recognition for a statewide race some time in the future.
“Because it’s this late, it would suggest to me that he won’t do it,” Norris said. “Were he to do it — and throw his considerable wealth into it — I think that automatically makes him a formidable candidate.”
There are already three Democrats in the governor’s race: Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, Attorney General Douglas Gansler and Del. Heather Mizeur.
