April McClain Delaney was declared the winner for the District 6 U.S. Congressional seat currently held by Rep. David Trone.
According to unofficial results by the state board of elections, Delaney had 174,514 (51.2%) votes to her Republican challenger Neil Parrott’s 165,750 (48.6%).
Delaney issued a statement saying she “is deeply honored and humbled by the trust the people of Maryland’s 6th District have placed in me by electing me to their next member of Congress.”
Her statement also noted that she will work with constituents to build a district that “thrives on opportunity, growth and shared community values.”
Upon learning the results, Maryland Governor Wes Moore issued the following statement.
“Marylanders deserve a champion – and they will get that champion in April Delaney, when she is sworn in next year as the next Member of Congress for Maryland’s 6th District. April is ready to work with anyone willing to find common ground – Democrats, Republicans, and Independants – because she recognizes that there is more that unites us than divides us. And she will be a champion for our children in Congress, just as she has been throughout her career, and she will advocate for the interests of all Marylanders, no matter their party or political ideology.”
“I am proud to have April Delaney as a partner in this work, and I look forward to adding her name to our extraordinary congressional delegation,” Moore said.
Parrott said that his campaign “will wait until all the votes are counted before declaring victory or defeat.” In his post on X, he added, “While the AP Press indicates that the race is too close to call, Delaney has declared victory this afternoon. I want we’ve to know that I am extremely grateful for the huge amount of work that was put into this campaign by volunteers in all five counties. As a result of this effort and sacrifice, the Parrott Campaign will wait until all the votes are counted before declaring victory or defeat.”
While all election day ballots were counted, the Maryland Board of Elections is still counting mail in ballots and provisional ballots.
The Maryland Democratic party posted on X, “Maryland’s 6th has chosen a leader who will deliver meaningful, common-sense solutions for working families and build the common ground to get things done.”
Thank you to every constituent who made their voice heard in this election. I’m humbled by your trust, and look forward to building a brighter future for Maryland’s 6th District, together. pic.twitter.com/8ak4Rc0v9w
