Dan Cox, a Republican politician who recently represented district 4 in the Maryland House of Delegates and won the Republican nomination for Maryland Governor before losing to Governor Wes Moore in the general election, has announced his candidacy for Maryland’s 6th district.The district encompasses all of Garrett, Allegany, Frederick, and Washington counties as well as a portion of Montgomery County. David Trone is its current representative. Fox made his announcement via a video on social media.
Cox has stated he has been active in politics since 1980, when he campaigned with his parents for Ronald Reagan. He also worked on the 1996 presidential campaign of Alan Keyes and as an aide to former U.S. Representative Roscoe Bartlett. From 2007 to 2009, he was the President of the Town Commission of Secretary, Maryland, located in Dorchester County. He was the Republican nominee for Dorchester County Circuit Court Clerk in 2006, losing the race to Democratic nominee Michael L. Baker. Cox was also the Republican nominee for Maryland’s 8th congressional district in 2016, losing the race to Democratic nominee and state senator Jamie Raskin of Montgomery County.
Cox made waves in 2021 when he referred to former Vice President Mike Pence as a “traitor” during the United States Capitol Attack. In June 2022, Cox stated that his tweet was “his way of expressing his disappointment and not a personal attack on the vice president”.
