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.[1]
- 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.[2][3][4]

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
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

Redistricting following the 2020 census
Maryland adopted legislative maps on January 27, 2022, when the Maryland House of Delegates approved new legislative district boundaries that had been approved on January 20, 2022, by the Maryland State Senate. The vote in the state Senate was 32-14 and in the House of Delegates was 95-42, both strictly along party lines.[5][6][7][8]Since legislative maps are not subject to gubernatorial veto, the maps were therefore enacted.
