U.S. Rep. April McClain Delaney, a Democrat, on Thursday announced that she will seek a second term representing Maryland's 6th District.
"The current shutdown of our federal government, and the continued refusal of our GOP colleagues to engage in bipartisan discussions to prevent millions of Americans from having their healthcare costs skyrocket, has strengthen[ed] my resolve to push back against these attacks and to fight for my district. Accordingly, I am filing for re-election," she said in a statement posted on her campaign website.
