U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, Jr. (R-Md.)Maryland Democrats are trying to push one of Maryland’s two Republican congressional representatives out of office by moving Rockville and possibly Germantown into the solidly red Western Maryland district represented by long-time Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett Jr.
Democrats made their case to Maryland’s redistricting committee at a recent public hearing in Frederick County. Their proposal would redraw Bartlett’s 6th District to include most of left-leaning Rockville and part of Germantown, while excluding more Republican counties east of Frederick, which include Carroll, Baltimore and Harford. The 6th District extends from Garrett County to Harford County along Maryland’s northern border with Pennsylvania.
Democrats — including one-time Bartlett challenger Don DeArmon — argued that Frederick’s needs are unrelated to those of its neighbors to the east.
