Downey Sees Redistricting Boost for 6th District Bid
Republican hopeful Michael Downey argues a gubernatorial plan could improve his 6th District campaign while warning the drawing may pit incumbents Helen Bentley and Wayne Gilchrest in the same district. He notes the plan shifts lines to include Garrett and eastern counties, expands the district, and could reduce incumbent perks for newcomers. Downey calls for term limits and PAC contribution bans as he expands into conservative northern Baltimore and Harford counties.
