Though Rep. Roscoe Bartlett represents the 6th congressional district as it exists, the new boundaries could turn the seat over to the Democrats, a potential Republican candidate said Saturday.
“At this point in time I think it’s in jeopardy of being lost, and I don’t want Nancy Pelosi as speaker again,” state Sen. David Brinkley said.
Brinkley announced last week he had formed an exploratory committee to gauge a bid for the 6th district seat.
The district’s current boundaries stretch from Backbone Mountain in Garrett County to the Susquehanna River east of Baltimore, concentrating many of the state’s Republican precincts.
