Rep. David J. Trone (D), the businessman-turned-politician who represents Maryland’s westernmost congressional district, has decided not to run for governor next year.
Instead, he will seek a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Trone announced his decision in a media release on Friday morning. He is the second Democratic officeholder in as many days to opt not to enter the 2022 gubernatorial primary.
On Thursday, Baltimore County Executive Johnny A. Olszewski Jr. (D) announced that he will seek a second term in Towson.
