that he would take the month of May to consider whether he is interested in running. The entry of those high-profile figures could drastically shape the strokes of the primary race.Trone previously ran against Raskin in a competitive Democratic primary to fill the House seat of now-Sen. Chris Van Hollen in 2016 — though despite Trone’s millions of dollars in spending, Raskin won, showing how big spending doesn’t always equate to a victory.
But Trone, who was known then as a businessman and philanthropist, now has much broader name recognition after serving two terms in Congress, and winning a third last year in what was largely seen as Maryland’s only competitive House race. In that campaign he spent more than $12 million of his own money, defeating Del. Neil Parrott by nine percentage points.
Trone did not say in an interview ahead of his campaign announcement how much he plans to spend on the race, though he noted that he is prepared to devote sizable resources to getting out his message across the state. He has so far contributed $150,000 of his own money to the race, federal campaign finance records show.
