Maryland Democrats Weigh Redistricting

Maryland Democrats are gearing up for a pivotal redistricting showdown, with Governor Wes Moore hinting at a possible special session to redraw congressional maps—aiming for fairer representation.

House Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk is keeping July and August open for talks, with leaders planning to assess post-primary needs.
