Luttrell Emerges as Frederick District 3 Senate Challenger
Charles R. Luttrell, 60, of Frederick, was nominated by the Frederick County Democratic Central Committee to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. John Derr in District 3. The district spans western Frederick and northeastern Washington counties, and Luttrell would be the first in memory to oppose Derr since 1986. He is a retired math instructor from Frederick Community College and had not run for office before. The party needed county approval due to cross-county district lines and Luttrell rushed to Hagerstown for further steps.
