Dan Schwartz Expected to Win Democratic Nomination in MD-01

Dan Schwartz is expected to emerge as the Democratic nominee for Maryland’s 1st Congressional District, positioning him as the party’s standard-bearer for the open or contested House race in 2026. The nomination will be decided in the Democratic primary on June 23, when voters in the district choose their candidate for the general election.

If Schwartz secures the nomination, Democrats will enter the fall campaign with a clear nominee in one of Maryland’s closely watched congressional contests. The race is drawing attention as both parties prepare for an election cycle that could help shape the balance of power in the U.S. House.
