Nicolee Ambrose (R)
With gas prices constantly rising across our nation, it’s clear we can no longer rely on foreign countries for energy. Furthermore, why should we? We need to allow American innovation to create the best and most economical ways to produce energy in the 21st century.
We need to prioritize letting kids be kids and teaching them the basics. As a product of public education, I firmly believe it can achieve great results. We need to focus on preparing children to become successful adults.
Nicolee Ambrose (R)
How can we keep our communities safe without properly staffed, trained, and supported public safety professionals, including not only law enforcement, but also fire and EMS personnel? When our communities feel less safe, the last thing we need to do is take away funding and support to give these men and women the resources and training they need to do their jobs effectively.
Taxes and Spending
As everyday life gets more expensive, Americans are sending more and more of their hard-earned money to Washington, while politicians continue to print cash and jam through trillions of dollars in reckless spending and tax hikes. We need to get our economy back on track by supporting common-sense policies that let Americans keep more of their paychecks.
Jobs
All jobs and all businesses are essential. Politicians must never again be able to decide who can and cannot work. Everyone is essential because everyone needs to feed their family. Nearly 99.5% of all businesses in Maryland are small businesses—they need a representative in Washington committed to cutting burdensome regulations and red tape that make it harder for small businesses to operate and create jobs.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- 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.[3]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Maryland in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 16, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Sixty-five candidates filed to run for Maryland's eight U.S. House districts, including 31 Democrats and 34 Republicans. That's 8.12 candidates per district, less than the 9.87 candidates per district in 2020 and more than the 6.87 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Maryland was apportioned eight districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.
Rep. Anthony Brown (D) filed to run for attorney general of Maryland, making the 4th district the only open seat this year and only the fourth U.S. House seat to open up in Maryland since 2012.
Twelve candidates — nine Democrats and three Republicans — ran to replace Brown, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. There were 15 contested primaries, eight Democratic and seven Republican. That’s one less than in 2020, and one more than in 2018.
Rep. Andrew Harris (R), the incumbent in the 1st district, was the only incumbent not to face a primary challenger this year. That’s one more than in 2020, when all eight incumbents faced primary challengers, and the same as in 2018. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all eight districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+7.

This made Maryland's 2nd the 145th most Democratic district nationally.[9]
