  • Democratic businessman John K. Delaney announced Monday that he is forming an exploratory committee for Maryland’s Sixth Congressional District.

    “I’m not a professional politician,” he said. “I’m convinced that if we stay focused on creating jobs, embrace ideas that put the middle class first, and involve the public and private sector to get things done, we can make a positive difference in people’s lives.”

    Delaney founded two Montgomery County-based companies and Blueprint Maryland, a nonprofit focused on fostering private-sector job creation in the state.

    Democratic state lawmakers intent on ousting 10-term Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett redrew the Western Maryland district to make the previously conservative-leaning area more competitive for liberal politicians.
