<p><a href="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-10-23/news/bs-md-gansler-party-20131023_1_gansler-underage-drinking-teen-party" target="_blank">The Baltimore Sun's Erin Cox and Michael Dresser</a> had the full details of the party Thursday morning. Gansler told the Sun that he didn't remember anybody drinking at the party - despite an evocative picture that accompanied the original story and was posted on Instagram.</p>
<p>And even if the teens were drinking, he said, he shouldn't have a responsibility as a parent - or a law-enforcement official - to stop it.</p>
<p><span>"Assume for purposes of discussion that there was widespread drinking at this party," Gansler said, who added that he only stopped by the party to speak with his son. "How is that relevant to me? … The question is, do I have any moral authority over other people's children at beach week in another state? I say no."</span></p>
<p><span>The situation got even stranger Thursday afternoon, when Gansler held a press conference to discuss the incident. Gansler told reporters that, in the picture, he was reading a text, not taking a photo. He also said that his son was the DJ at the party, and that he wasn't completely sure if the liquid in the red cups was beer.</span></p>
<p><span>"It could be Kool-Aid instead of beer," he said.</span></p>
<p><span>Here is a particularly cringeworthy exchange Gansler had with a reporter earlier:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Gansler released a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/douggansler/posts/10151939562549883" target="_blank">statement on his Facebook page</a> later Thursday.</p>
<p><span>"As a parent of a 19-year old, I face the same issues as many of you. How do we get it right?" Gansler said in the statement.</span></p>
<p><span>"How do we draw the balance between helping our college teenagers make good choices and when to pull them back? You try to always make the best decisions. In this case, maybe I should have done something differently."</span></p>
<p><span>Gansler is running in next year's election against Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown. Polls have consistently shown Brown with a sizeable, double-digit lead in the Democratic primary, but about one-third of Maryland Democrats are still undecided.</span></p>
<p>Gansler's adventures made it all the way to Barstool Sports, which headlined its <a href="http://www.barstoolsports.com/dmv/super-page/maryland-attorney-general-doug-gansler-crushing-it-at-a-high-school-party/" target="_blank">story</a>, "Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler Crushing It At A High School Party."</p>

Maryland's Attorney General Is Getting Slammed For Attending An Underage Drinking Party

<p><keyword id="11917187" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="maryland" source="Orion">Maryland</keyword> is holding closely watched gubernatorial primaries on Tuesday. Polls in the state closed at 8 p.m. ET.</p><p>Per Maryland law, election workers cannot start counting mail-in ballots until Thursday. Since there are at least 150,000 ballots that will not be processed until Thursday at the earliest, several races will likely not be be called on Election Day. </p><p>Trump-backed Del. Daniel Cox was called the winner of the GOP nomination, defeating moderate GOP Gov. Larry Hogan's endorsed candidate Kelly Schulz. </p><h2><strong>The races and the stakes: </strong></h2>  <h3><strong>Governor</strong></h3><p>Republican Gov. Larry Hogan — who in recent years has emerged as a vocal <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/larry-hogan-gop-balkanized-national-elections-reagan-trump-conservatism-2021-10">critic</a> of former President Donald Trump and has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/06/11/republican-president-2024-trump/">hinted</a> at a possible 2024 presidential campaign — is nearing the end of his second term in office. He is term-limited and ineligible to run for a third consecutive term.</p><p>Hogan has thrown his support behind Kelly Schulz, a former GOP state delegate who led Maryland's labor department and commerce department under him.</p><p>However, Trump has endorsed state Del. Daniel Cox, who has tacked to the right and is more aligned with the former president's MAGA movement.</p><p>Attorney Joe Werner and perennial candidate Robin Ficker are also running in the GOP primary.</p><p>This contest could serve as an early barometer of the future of the Republican Party, as Hogan wants the party to move beyond Trump while the former president continues to flex his muscles in electoral races across the country. </p><p>Hogan was able to win statewide in deeply blue Maryland as a moderate Republican, but despite the political headwinds facing Democrats this year, the open-seat contest represents one of their party's best opportunities nationwide to flip a governor's office.</p><p>The crowded Democratic primary includes state Comptroller Peter Franchot; former Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez; author and former<strong> </strong>nonprofit executive Wes Moore; former US Education secretary John King; former state attorney general Doug Gansler; philosopher Jerome Segal; and retired teacher Ralph Jaffe. Rushern L. Baker III, the former Prince George's County executive, suspended his campaign last month but will still appear on the ballot.</p><p>A Goucher College Poll <a href="https://www.goucher.edu/hughes-center/documents/Goucher-College-Poll-June-2022-Part-1.pdf">released</a> in late June showed Cox leading Schulz 25% to 22% in the GOP primary; Franchot led the pack among Democrats with 16% of the vote, while Perez and Moore were both tied at 14% support. The survey also revealed significant amounts of undecided voters: 44% of Republicans were unsure of their choice, while 35% of Democrats were on the fence about their preferred candidate.</p><h3><strong>Attorney General</strong></h3><p>The incumbent, Democrat Brian Frosh, is retiring after two terms in office.</p><p>The Democratic primary features two familiar faces: US Rep. Anthony Brown, who served under Martin O'Malley as lieutenant governor from 2007 to 2015 and was the party's 2014 gubernatorial nominee, and Katie Curran O'Malley, a former Baltimore prosecutor and ex-district court judge who is married to former Gov. Martin O'Malley. (The former judge is also the daughter of longtime Maryland attorney general J. Joseph Curran Jr., who served from 1987 to 2007.)</p><p>While Katie Curran O'Malley has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/07/06/brown-omalley-maryland-ag-attorney-general/">emphasized</a> her prosecutorial record in making the case for her election, Brown has pointed to his record of working on class action lawsuits and complex litigation, as well as his deep connections in Annapolis and Washington, DC.</p><p>The GOP primary features Jim Shalleck, a former prosecutor, and Michael Anthony Peroutka, a former Anne Arundel County council member.</p><h3><strong>Comptroller</strong></h3><p>With Franchot in the governor's race, there will be an open-seat contest on the Democratic side for the first time since 2006.</p><p>In the Democratic primary, state Del. Brooke Lierman of Baltimore City will face Bowie Mayor Tim Adams.</p><p>Barry Glassman, the Harford County executive, is running unopposed in the GOP primary.</p>  <h3><strong>US Senate</strong></h3><p>Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen is running for reelection to a second term. He faces one primary opponent, policy analyst Michelle Smith.</p><p>The 10 Republican candidates on the ballot are Chris Chaffee, George Davis, Nnabu Eze, Lorie Friend, Reba Hawkins, Jon McGreevey, Joseph Perez, Todd Puglisi, James Tarantin, and John Thormann.</p>  <h3><strong>US House Races</strong></h3><p>Democrats currently have a 7-1 edge in the House delegation, with Republicans hoping to make inroads after the original redistricting maps <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/maryland-judge-tosses-congressional-map-redistricting-extreme-partisan-gerrymandering-2022-3">were thrown out</a> by a judge in March. The Democratic-led legislature redrew the congressional lines, which Hogan <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/04/04/maryland-new-congressional-map/">signed into law</a> in April.</p><h4><strong>1st District</strong></h4><p>Republican Rep. Andy Harris, who was first elected in 2010, is running unopposed in the most conservative-leaning district in the state.</p><p>In the Democratic primary, Heather Mizeur, a former state delegate and 2014 gubernatorial candidate, is running against longtime diplomat Dave Harden.</p><h4><strong>2nd District</strong></h4><p>Dutch Ruppersberger, who has served in Congress since 2003, is running for reelection in a Baltimore County-anchored district. He faces George Croom, Marques Dent, and Liri Fusha in the Democratic primary.</p><p>The six Republicans on the ballot include Nicolee Ambrose, Bernard Flowers, Michael Geppi, Lance Griffin, Ellen McNulty, and Dave Wallace.</p><h4><strong>3rd District</strong></h4><p>Rep. Jon Sarbanes faces two candidates in the Democratic primary: Ben Beardsley and Jake Pretot.</p><p>The five GOP candidates competing in the primary are Thomas Harris, Joe Kelley, Yuripzy Morgan, Antonio Pitocco, and Amal Torres.</p><h4><strong>4th District</strong></h4><p>Brown is in the attorney general's contest and his departure opened up a House seat anchored in the suburbs north and east of Washington, DC, featuring two big-name Democratic candidates: former US Rep. Donna Edwards and former Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey.</p><p>Other Democrats seeking the nomination include Tammy Allison, Angela Angel, James Curtis, Matthew Fogg, Greg Holmes, Robert McGhee, and Kim Shelton.</p><p>Eric Loeb, George McDermott, and Jeff Warner and squaring off in the GOP primary.</p><h4><strong>5th District</strong></h4><p>House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer — who has served in Congress since 1981 and has become an institution in the nation's capital — is running for reelection in a district encompassing much of southern Maryland. He faces Keith Washington and Mckayla Wilkes in the Democratic primary.</p><p>The candidates in the GOP primary include Bryan Duval Cubero, Vanessa Marie Hoffman, Toni Jarboe-Duley, Michael Lemon, Chris Palombi, Patrick Stevens, and Tannis Villanova.</p><h4><strong>6th District</strong></h4><p>Democratic Rep. David Trone is running for a third term in a district that was made slightly more competitive in redistricting and stretches from the suburbs west of Washington, DC, to western Maryland.</p><p>Trone will face challengers George Gluck, Ben Smilowitz, and Heba Zayas in the Democratic primary.</p><p>Republicans in the race include Colt Black, Matthew Foldi, Jonathan Jenkins, Neil Parrott, Robert Poissonnier, and Mariela Roca.</p><p>Parrott lost to Trone by a wide margin in 2020 and is seeking a rematch in the newly-drawn district, which would have been carried by President Joe Biden by nearly 10%.</p><h4><strong>7th District</strong></h4><p>Rep. Kweisi Mfume, the former president and chief executive of the NAACP, is running for reelection in an overwhelmingly Democratic district anchored in Baltimore.</p><p>Tashi Davis, Elihu Eli El, and Wayne McNeal are challenging Mfume in the Democratic primary.</p><p>Four GOP candidates also are on the ballot — Ray Bly, Scott Collier, Michael Pearson, and Lorrie Sigley.</p><h4><strong>8th District</strong></h4><p>Rep. Jamie Raskin, a prominent member of the House January 6 committee, is running for a fourth term and faces Andalib Odulate in the Democratic primary.</p><p>Gregory Coll and Michael Yadeta will face each other in the Republican primary.</p><h2>State legislative primaries</h2>
