Steny Hoyer (D) won the Democratic primary for Maryland's 5th Congressional District on May 14, 2024. Hoyer received 70.6% of the vote. Quincy Bareebe (D) finished in second place with 11.7%. Mckayla Wilkes (D) and Andrea Crooms (D) also ran in the primary.

The Southern Maryland News' Matt Wynn wrote that the challengers were "taking on the monumental task of beating one of Congress’s most senior members." Hoyer was a member of House Democratic leadership from 2003 through 2023, serving as majority leader or minority whip throughout that period. Since Ballotpedia began covering primary elections for this district in 2012, the closest Democratic primary was in 2020, where Hoyer defeated Wilkes 64.4% to 26.7%.

First elected in 1981, Hoyer said he was running to continue his work on the Appropriations Committee, including overseeing the construction of a new FBI headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland, and securing funding for early childhood education centers. Hoyer said that "during this coming election, the values, character, and very soul of America are at risk. Freedom, which makes our nation exceptional, will be on the ballot."

Bareebe was, at the time of the election, the president and CEO of a home healthcare agency and an accountant. Bareebe said she was running "to get someone in representation that understands what it means to be late on your mortgage, understands what it means for a mother to be out there and working three jobs and their paychecks are not enough." Bareebe said her priority was addressing the cost of living in the district.

Crooms was, at the time of the election, an attorney and the director of the Prince George's County Department of the Environment. Crooms said she was running "because my generation and those that follow need strong representation who will help build a better tomorrow." Crooms said her priorities were improving living conditions for working families, protecting the environment, and promoting fairness and equity.

Wilkes was, at the time of the election, a community organizer and the founder of Schools Not Jails, a group describing itself as "a grassroots, community-based organization fighting for a dismantling of the school-to-prison pipeline and broader carceral state." Wilkes said her priorities were "criminal justice and public education reform, affordable housing, healthcare, economic and racial justice." Wilkes had challenged Hoyer twice before, winning 26.7% of the vote in 2020 and 19.1% in 2022.

As of May 13, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales, and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Solid/Safe Democratic. Hoyer defeated Chris Palombi (R) 65.9%–33.9% in the 2022 election.

All 435 seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies. As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election. To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

In the 2022 election in this district, the Democratic candidate won 65.9%-33.9%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have defeated Donald Trump (R) 67.4%-30.9%.

Key Messages

---

The sky-high cost of healthcare has been financially crushing thousands of working and middle class families in our community. As the founder and CEO of a local healthcare company, I have been on the front lines of delivering high-quality, affordable care right here in Anne Arundel County. While I have served my local community for years, I believe we need bold, sweeping change now to guarantee that healthcare is a human right.

---

In a period of historic inflation, the cost of living has never been higher. Even in some of the solidly middle-class areas of this district, people are falling behind on their mortgages, or defaulting on car loans and credit card payments. From groceries to gas, many families are forced to make difficult decisions in order to survive. No single person is to blame for this, but I think most people will agree with me when I say that something has to change. As the Representative for MD-5, I'll explore measures that include giving tax breaks to working families, and providing targeted relief programs for fixed-income individuals. Inflation might be a complex challenge, but together, we'll face it head-on.

---

As we navigate this changing global landscape, it remains true that a quality education is still one of the most essential tools needed to succeed in life. We need to ensure that our schools are adequately funded with the resources our children need to learn and grow. We also need to invest in our teachers, who are the backbone of our education system. By providing them with the support they need, we can ensure that they will be able to provide our students with the best possible education.

Key Messages

---

A Better Future for Working Families- We deserve access to good jobs, and quality education, childcare and healthcare we can afford. I will focus federal investment in the people of southern Maryland, ensuring we have a pathway to prosperity and are supported through our working lives and retirement.

---

Environmental Justice- We live in a beautiful place, let’s keep it that way. I will work to bring quality transportation, renewable energy investment and climate resilience to our community- while fighting the big-oil and big-corporate interests that are choosing profits over our future.

---

Fairness and Equity- Equity means listening and uplifting all voices, regardless of income, race, gender, sexuality or ability. Black families have been denied access to capital and multi-generational wealth. Seniors’ needs are often overlooked in government budgets and programs. Young people’s voices about the future they want have been systematically ignored. I promise to listen to our community’s ideas and solutions and to bring those ideas to the halls of Congress- to build policies that will build an equitable future for Marylanders.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

Healthcare, Education, Immigration, and Job Creation

Andrea Crooms (D)

I have worked in government my entire career- and I know how to make it work better. I will work to pass legislation that will make the lives of regular people better. I am expert in energy, environmental and criminal law. TI will work to bring real investment in Southern Maryland to bring more affordable childcare (and fair pay for care workers), more housing, good-paying jobs, strengthen unions, and provide services and opportunities for young people and seniors. I will work to protect our environment now, and for our kids and grandkids and bring the environmental and economic benefits of clean energy to our area. I will work to improve our transportation and mobility infrastructure. I will make sure that my neighbors in Southern Maryland have a voice and a seat at the table in building a better future for all of us.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Andrea Crooms (D)

My parents were an incredible example. My father worked at SEARS and was able to provide for his four daughters. My mother stayed at home and raised us and was active with local civic groups, the sierra club and Girl Scouts. They were both engaged with our community and worked to make it stronger - from building our church, to volunteering with local homeless organizations, to engagement in all of our schools. They were able to achieve the American dream, they owned their home, were able to raise happy and engaged children and after we were all grown, retire. I would like us all to have what my parents' did- the opportunity to reap the rewards of our hard work. To have the freedom to be a part of the community, raise the family of our choosing, and to not have to spend every day wondering how to make ends meet.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

Elected officials must be transparent in their actions and accountable to their constituents. This means refusing donations from special interest groups and lobbyists, and relying on grassroots fundraising and organizing efforts. They should also be accessible, meaning they don't hide behind an answering machine or staff when constituents want to talk about problems in their communities.

Andrea Crooms (D)

Integrity. Honesty. Listening more than they talk. Empowering and allowing their neighbors to speak for themselves and raise issues and concerns. Commitment to the good of their community, country and humanity. Willingness to step up when needed, and step back when their time is done.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Andrea Crooms (D)

I care about my community and my neighbors, and I want to make Southern Maryland and the US a better place. I am currently in the "squeeze" generation- with the responsibility to care for my own child and aging parents. I am worried about what the future looks like- but still very optimistic about what we can build together. I'm not interested in staying forever, I'm not interested in getting rich. I am just interested in knowing that I gave making the world a better place a genuine shot.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

The core responsibility of a congress-person is to represent their constituents, and to advocate for their interests. Listening, learning, and amplifying the concerns of community members is critical, and securing funding to address their issues is one of the most direct ways a representative

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Andrea Crooms (D)

It is the people's house. It is the place where you and I can go and do the work to build the country we want.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Andrea Crooms (D)

Yes, but that experience doesn't have to be a "job" - whether it is being a part of the PTA and getting involved with the school board to improve local schools, or working your way through the onerous process to get a permit to build a house, or organizing with your neighbors to get a grocery store in your community- I think all of those things teach us a huge amount about how the government works. The US House benefits from a wide diversity of experience- everyone brings knowledge to the table- about their community, their line of work and their experiences. We don't need a bunch of know-it-all lawyers (yes, I am a sometimes know-it-all lawyer) running the country- we need grocery workers, truck drivers, auto mechanics, computer scientists, barbers, nurses, stay-at-home-parents, vet-techs, and civil servants. It takes all of us.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

Rising income inequality and internal political divisions are tearing away at the bedrock of this great nation. Mis- and disinformation are rampant, the federal government has been repeatedly held hostage, and national security is being undermined for political gain. Social safety nets are being dismantled instead of strengthened, long term economic stability are being ignored for quarterly profits, and we continue to balloon the military budget without any financial accountability.

Andrea Crooms (D)

Building a country where everyone has a fair chance to thrive. We have to build a strong middle class that is inclusive of all of us. We must figure out a large number of really difficult issues- all of which we have allowed to become crises: artificial intelligence, energy, climate change, failing infrastructure, transportation, immigration, health care, senior care, housing, jobs, etc. We have a HUGE job ahead of us, and we need to get to work.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Andrea Crooms (D)

Yes, it allows a diverse group of people to serve, and to make a commitment that can fit into their lives- and go back to their lives and careers after serving- bringing what they learned to their community.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

Term limits are a vital part of preventing stagnation in government. When elected officials serve for 40+ years in the same office, they have no incentive to adapt or improve their way of doing things, they lose touch with the lived experiences of their constituents, and prevent energetic people with fresh ideas from better representing their communities.

Andrea Crooms (D)

I support term limits for all elected offices, including Congress.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

Compromise is necessary up to a point, but there are lines in the sand that can not be crossed. Civil liberties and human rights are not up for debate, but how much money gets split between two departments can be discussed.

Andrea Crooms (D)

Absolutely. In the end, we as 'the people' want the same things- a safe, clean place to live; to raise the family of our choosing; to be a part of the communities of our choosing; to be paid fairly for our work; to exercise our freedoms and have them protected; and to have opportunities for ourselves and our kids to build a future. We just disagree on how to get there. But when regular people work together to design a future- instead of billionaires, bankers, venture capitalists and lobbyists- a better future is possible. A future that includes all of us. I don't buy into the political bull. It is theater. We don't have time for theater and partisan squawking. We want an America that works. And since the traditional politicians won't listen to us- we'll do it ourselves.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Andrea Crooms (D)

To gather information valuable for considering and producing legislation - largely learning about the things that we are governing; or to ensure that existing laws are being properly administered. To ensure that the funds of taxpayers are being used to benefit them and to ensure that elected and appointed civil servants are serving the people, not themselves.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Andrea Crooms (D)

Maryland Forward

What committees interest you?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

Education and the Workforce; Ethics; Oversight and Accountability

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Quincy Bareebe (D)

All government financial records should be open and accessible to the public by default. Americans deserve to know where our tax dollars are being spent so we can hold the people writing the checks accountable. We should not be afraid of the light; we should be moving towards it willingly and enthusiastically.

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Maryland in 2024. Information below was calculated on March 19, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eighty-seven candidates ran for Maryland’s eight U.S. House districts, including 58 Democrats and 29 Republicans. That’s 10.88 candidates per district, more than in the previous three election cycles. There were 8.12 candidates per district in 2022, 9.87 candidates per district in 2020, and 6.87 in 2018.

The total number of candidates who ran for the U.S. House in 2024 is also higher than any other year this decade.

Three districts—the 2nd, the 3rd, and the 6th—were open, meaning no incumbents ran. That’s the most open districts in an election cycle this decade.

Rep. David Trone (D-6th) did not run for re-election in order to run for the U.S. Senate, while Reps. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-2nd) and John Sarbanes (D-3rd) retired from public office.

Thirty-one candidates—22 Democrats and nine Republicans—ran for the open 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a district in 2024.

Fourteen primaries—eight Democratic and six Republican—were contested in 2024. Fifteen primaries were contested in 2022, 16 primaries were contested in 2020, and 14 were in 2018.

Five incumbents—four Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024. That's fewer than in 2022, when six incumbents faced challengers, in 2020 when eight incumbents faced challengers, and in 2018, when six did.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
