For the first time in over four decades, Maryland’s 5th Congressional District is an open seat. This historic transition represents a pivotal moment for Southern Maryland, as we prepare to elect a successor to longtime Representative Steny Hoyer. The decisions made by our next representative will influence everything from federal investment in our local infrastructure to the protection of our core democratic values.

As a club dedicated to informed civic engagement, the Eleanor & Franklin Roosevelt Democratic Club is proud to sponsor a major Congressional Candidate Forum hosted by our partners at the South County Democrat Cub.

With more than 20 candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the frontrunners and community leaders seeking to be your voice in Washington.
