Key Maryland Delegation Faces Shifts and LaRouche Link in Primaries
Losses to the Maryland Senate and local delegation chairmanship spark talk of party power shifts in Frederick and Prince George counties. Louise Snodgrass favors a House chair, while Tim Ferguson argues tenure and service matter more. The Democratic central committee elected two LaRouche supporters, Helen Alexander and Mary Borawski, prompting concern from outgoing chair Blaine Young, though Tom Slater was chosen committee chair. Absentee ballots loom large in the Republican comptroller race between Timothy Mayberry and Larry Epstein, with Schaefer looming in fundraising and name recognition.

Sheriff details pursuit and stop involving Ms Pena in car incident
Sheriff Hagg reports the passenger urged Ms Pena to stop multiple times as they were followed by police. Deputies drew weapons when Pena pulled off the fast lane and both women leaned as if discarding or retrieving objects. The passenger said she was never scared. Pena initially refused to exit the vehicle, saying she did not stop when emergency equipment activated. A District Court commissioner found Pena did not complain of injuries or mistreatment.
