ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- Delegate Jon Cardin makes it official.
The Baltimore County Democrat has announced his candidacy for Attorney General.
"Maryland faces tremendous challenges and opportunities. We need a passionate, proactive Attorney General who is prepared to face the modern threats of a rapidly changing world," Cardin said. "I am excited to be the state's lawyer, solving our problems, cleaning our environment and protecting our families" Cardin said regarding his candidacy.
