Former President Bill Clinton on Monday endorsed John Delaney for Maryland’s Sixth Congressional District.
“John Delaney is a lifelong Democrat who has real life job creation experience,” Clinton said. “His commitment to equality, economic growth and fairness will make him an effective advocate for the middle class, a strong advocate for job creation and a trusted ally for reform.”
A Montgomery County financier, Delaney is competing with state Sen. Rob Garagiola, D-Germantown, for the Democratic bid for the new district, which stretches from Garrett, Allegany and Washington counties in Western Maryland to northern and western Montgomery County.
Republican Roscoe Bartlett has represented the district for almost 20 years.
