AP News Guide: A look at Maryland’s primary elections

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland voters are choosing candidates in a primary for a big election year in the state.

Both Republicans and Democrats have competitive primaries for governor in Maryland this year. Katie Curran O’Malley, a former Baltimore judge and Maryland first lady, is running for the Democratic nomination to an office that will be opening with the retirement of Attorney General Brian Frosh. She is running against U.S. Rep. Anthony Brown, who was lieutenant governor during the administration of former Gov. Martin O’Malley, Curran O’Malley’s husband.

For the GOP, former prosecutor Jim Shalleck is running against Michael Peroutka, who served a term on the Anne Arundel County Council.
