That said, Calvin Ball is first and Vanessa Atterbeary would be a very close second. I don't know Clarence Lam.

Where do we place Harry Dunn?

MD is going to have County Executives becoming Members of US Congress.
Angela Alsobrooks(Prince George’s) becomes US Senator.
John Olszewski (Baltimore) becomes US Representative of MD-2 assuming Dutch retires.
Calvin Ball(Howard) becomes US Representative of MD-3.
Steuart Pittman(Anne Arundel) becomes US Representative of MD-5 assuming Steny retires.
Jan Gardner(Frederick) becomes US Representative of MD-6.

Raskin(MD-8) is running for re-election so is Mfume(MD-7) and Ivey(MD-4).
