Five Seek Senate Seats in Frederick Carroll District
Five candidates file for the two state senate seats in the Frederick Carroll district but only Democratic voters face a primary. Frederick and Carroll Republicans struck a deal: two Republicans, one from each county, will run. Dems choose between O'Farrell Smelser and Byron for the two slots. Republicans are Merkle Wachter and Joseph Hahn Jr. The pact avoids a primary fight to prevent both seats from potentially going to Frederick while Carroll could be left unrepresented.
