Who will take on Barbara Mikulski?
There are at least a half-dozen GOP hopefuls for the Senate seat held by Mikulski (D-Md.), who consistently polls higher statewide than any other Maryland Democrat. Amedori was arguably the best known, prior to dropping out of that race before she joined Murphy. The GOP candidate generating the most buzz right now is Eric S. Wargotz, president of the Board of County Commissioners in Queen Anne’s County. But he is hardly a household name — less than 1 percent of the state’s population resides in Queen Anne’s — and some Republican insiders say they wouldn’t be surprised to see a latecomer to the race. With the filing date two months away, it’s probably not too late for a few surprises.
