Pelosi’s Majority Crumbles: Dem Rep. Brown Leaving House, Launching Bid for Maryland AG
Another top Democrat is resigning from Congress.
Maryland Democrat Rep. Anthony Brown has announced that he will not be running for re-election.
Brown will be stepping down from his House seat and will be running to become Maryland’s attorney general.
“We’ve made progress over the years, but too many barriers exist for too many Marylanders, from health care and housing to the environment and education, to workplaces, policing and the criminal justice system,” Brown, 59, said in his campaign announcement video. “I’m running for attorney general to dismantle those barriers.”
Maryland’s current attorney general, Democrat Brian Frosh, is retiring in 2022.
“Brown represents Maryland’s 4th Congressional District, which is mainly made up of portions of Prince George’s County. He has represented the district since 2017. He easily won re-election in 2020 with nearly 80 percent of the vote,” the Epoch Times reported.
“Brown has had a long career in politics. He was a member of Maryland’s General Assembly before serving as Maryland’s lieutenant governor. He launched a gubernatorial bid that failed before winning his first House race. Glenn Ivey, a Democrat, and former Prince George’s County prosecutor, is planning to run for the seat Brown is leaving,” the Epoch Times added.
