April McClain Delaney, a Democrat, was announced the winner of the open seat in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District late Saturday, four days after Election Day.

Ms. McClain Delaney defeated Republican Neil Parrott.

The seat was open because Rep. David Trone, a Democrat, decided to run for the Senate, but he lost in the primary to Prince George’s County Angela Alsobrooks. Ms. Alsobrooks won the election against Republican Larry Hogan.

“I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust the people of Maryland’s 6th District have placed in me by electing me to be their next member of Congress,” Ms. McClain Delaney posted Friday on X.

“Since the beginning of this campaign, our message has been clear: it’s time for common sense, common ground leadership that puts people over politics, defends our freedoms and values, and builds a future centered on unity,” she said.

Democrats only need a gain of four seats to win the lower chamber and Ms. McClain Delaney’s win helps them get there.
