Democrats have retained their strong majorities in both chambers of the Maryland General Assembly, with no change to the overall balance of power following Tuesday’s election. Republicans held onto two closely watched Senate seats, while Democrats picked up two House of Delegates seats by unseating Republican incumbents in Anne Arundel and Wicomico counties. Several other competitive races resulted in incumbents or candidates from the same party retaining seats.
What’s next: The 2027 legislative session will include debates over taxes, energy costs, labor and regulations. Maryland’s elections highlight the importance of continued business community engagement with lawmakers as priorities for the coming session take shape.
