The 2016 United States Senate election in Maryland took place on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the
United States Senate to represent the State of
Maryland , concurrently with the
2016 U.S. presidential election , as well as
other elections to the United States Senate in other states and
elections to the
United States House of Representatives and various
state and
local elections .
Incumbent
Democratic Senator
Barbara Mikulski decided to retire after five terms in the Senate.
[1]
Primary elections were held April 26, 2016, in which
Chris Van Hollen and
Kathy Szeliga were chosen as the Democratic and
Republican party nominees, respectively. In addition, the
Green Party chose
Margaret Flowers and the
Libertarian Party chose Arvin Vohra as their respective nominees.
Van Hollen was heavily favored to win the election. He ultimately won with over 60% of the vote. As typically occurs with the state's elections, most support for the Democratic nominee, Van Hollen, came from the densely populated
Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area in central Maryland, while the Republican nominee, Szeliga, did well in the more sparsely populated areas on the
Eastern Shore and in
Western Maryland , and narrowly won
Anne Arundel County , home to the state capital
Annapolis , as well as exurban
Frederick County .
As of 2023, this is the most recent statewide election in Maryland that a Democrat won without carrying Anne Arundel or Frederick counties. This election was the first time since
1980 that a man won the Class 3 Senate seat in Maryland.
Background
Mikulski first ran for the U.S. Senate in
1974 , losing to Republican incumbent
Charles Mathias . Mikulski then served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1977 to 1987 and was elected to the U.S. Senate in
1986 , succeeding the retiring Mathias. She was re-elected by large margins in
1992 ,
1998 ,
2004 and
2010 . Shortly after being sworn in for her fifth term in 2011, she succeeded
Margaret Chase Smith as the longest-serving female senator in U.S. history,
[2] and on March 17, 2012, she became the longest-serving female member of Congress in U.S. history, surpassing Congresswoman
Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts, who served from 1925 to 1960.
[3] On March 2, 2015, Mikulski announced that she would not run for re-election to a sixth term in office.
[1]
In August 2013, Abby Livingston of
Roll Call had predicted that a potential retirement by Mikulski would create "chaos" and "blow open Maryland's political bottleneck" because "the state's teeming political
Democratic Party talent is backed up in lower offices."
[4] Among the ten Democrats who ran in the primary, only two had previously been elected to an office.
