First In Line: Maryland

Maryland is a blue state – but not everywhere. In the rural corners of the state, on the Eastern Shore and in the western mountains, there are state legislative districts where Republicans run without opposition.

In 2026, that's changing. And you can be part of the change.

First In Line funds the state legislative candidates doing hard work in the hardest places. By running, they're giving voters a choice and holding extremists accountable.

Our target is $2,500 per candidate – enough for yard signs, postcards, and gas money – basics that make the difference between a real campaign and just a name on a ballot.

These candidates are doing the work. Together we can make sure they have the resources to do it well.

*We fund in rounds: uncontested districts first, then Solid R, Likely R, and Lean R. Our target is to raise $2,500 per candidate. Note: The current fundraising goal is a milestone toward that overall target. Once we raise the equivalent of $2,500 per page recipient (which in MD's Round 1 is $15,000), the next round opens.

A candidate not listed may not yet qualify for this round, may still have a primary, or may not have an ActBlue page set up.
