Well-known Republicans eye primary run
by C. Benjamin Ford and Katherine heerbrandt, Staff Writer
Seeing the incumbent as particularly vulnerable, opponents, including a couple of high-powered fellow Republicans, are lining up to take on longtime U.S. Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett.
Within the past two days, Maryland GOP Chairman Alex X. Mooney announced an exploratory bid to challenge Bartlett, whose 6th District was redrawn by Democrats in the recent redistricting process.
State Sen. David R. Brinkley (R-Dist. 4) of New Market also announced the formation of an exploratory committee.
And Bartlett’s longtime chief of staff, Bud Otis, resigned after news broke that he was seeking support for his own possible bid.
