CBCDC Endorses Candidates in Every Contested Primary Race
CBCDC members showed strong support across every contested Democratic primary race. Candidates in contested races in the Central Baltimore area and in statewide races were invited to speak directly with members. Endorsements were decided at our April 14, 2026 meeting, requiring at least 50% of votes cast to earn support.
