Heading into the election, the incumbent was Chris Van Hollen (Democrat), who was first elected in 2016.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Maryland utilizes a closed primary system. Although parties may hold open primaries, parties generally permit only registered party members to vote in their primaries.[1][2]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
