Democrat Rep. Anthony Brown Leaving House, Launching Bid for Maryland Attorney General

October 25, 2021

Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.) is the 14th Democrat in the House of Representatives who won’t be running for re-election after announcing on Monday a bid to succeed Maryland’s attorney general.

“We’ve made progress over the years, but too many barriers exist for too many Marylanders, from health care and housing to the environment and education, to workplaces, policing and the criminal justice system,” Brown, 59, said in his campaign announcement video. “I’m running for attorney general to dismantle those barriers.”

Maryland’s current attorney general, Democrat Brian Frosh, is retiring in 2022.

Brown represents Maryland’s 4th Congressional District, which is mainly made up of portions of Prince George’s County. He has represented the district since 2017. He easily won re-election in 2020 with nearly 80 percent of the vote.

Brown has had a long career in politics. He was a member of Maryland’s General Assembly before serving at Maryland’s lieutenant governor. He launched a gubernatorial bid that failed before winning his first House race.
