Howard Enters Race For Maryland's 6th Congressional District
LAYTONSVILLE, Md. (AP) -- A former Republican candidate for Maryland's State Senate has announced his candidacy for the state's 6th Congressional District.
Frank Howard filed candidacy paperwork on Tuesday. The western district is currently represented by Democratic Rep. John Delaney and includes all of Garrett, Allegany and Washington counties, and parts of Montgomery and Frederick counties.
Fifty four-year-old Howard is a resident of Laytonsville in Montgomery County. He served as a campaign chairman to Republican Dan Bongino, who challenged Delaney in 2014.
In his State Senate race last year, Howard was defeated by the Democratic incumbent, State Sen. Karen Montgomery.
Howard, who is a co-owner of the Utah-based business development consulting firm, Shipley Associates, served in the Air Force for four years.
Howard will face Republican state lawmaker David E. Vogt III in the primary.
