A Seventh State reader sent us a screenshot of a Twitter ad run by Total Wine co-owner and former CD8 Congressional candidate David Trone in the early hours of March 16. The reader does not follow Trone’s account and the term “promoted” at the bottom of the screenshot clearly indicates its status as an ad.
Trone is known to be considering a future candidacy. He told Bethesda Magazine’s Lou Peck that he is “focused very heavily right now” on looking at a race for Montgomery County Executive. He has polled on the race at least once and says openly on his website that he is exploring it. The Twitter ad joins this evidence to suggest that Trone could very well be on the ballot again.
