United States House Of Representatives, Maryland District 6
Maryland's 6th congressional district elects a representative to the United States House of Representatives from the northwest part of the state. The district comprises all of Garrett, Allegany, Frederick, and Washington counties as well as a portion of Montgomery County. David Trone ( D), who lives outside the district, is its current representative. The previous boundaries of the district were the subject of a Supreme Court lawsuit over partisan gerrymandering.
