Congresswoman April McClain Delaney has released a statement and a video responding to the primary challenge announced by her predecessor, former Congressman David Trone. They are reprinted below, along with an X post in which she declares “I stand up to bullies.”
This will be a good spring for the mail houses and TV ad-makers!
Delaney’s responses appear below.
From Congresswoman Delaney:
David Trone thinks I should ‘step aside’ so he can have his old office back after he abandoned the district to run and lose for Senate. He has the arrogance of a Trump. But not so fast. On behalf of my district, I stand up to bullies. That’s why I’ll continue to take on Trump’s assault on our government workers, defend our diverse community, protect choice and women’s reproductive rights and work against inflation-creating tariffs. As one of just three women in the Maryland delegation, I’m proud of my work to stand up for children and our families. And as a member of Team Maryland, have forged strong working relationships with Governor Moore and the entire Federal delegation, all of whom have endorsed me, as well as with city and rural leaders across the district. Representing the 6th District is an honor and privilege; it is not a consolation prize. I will continue to work tirelessly for our district and all of Maryland as we fight the assaults to our democracy and work to improve our economic futures.
