Over 20 candidates have filed to replace U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in the District 5 congressional seat, with many recognizable names vying for the seat, including Jan. 6 hero Harry Dunn, Sen. Arthur Ellis (D-District 28), Del. Nicole Williams (D-District 22), Charles County Commissioner Reuben Collins II (D), and former Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker.

The team rebranded to the Chesapeake Baysox, with owner Greg Baroni saying the new name “brings regional pride.” However, Del. Adrian Boafo, who currently represents Bowie in the state legislature, views the name change as disrespectful. (Anthony Tilghman/The Washington Informer)
