CAMBRIDGE – A strong early-voting turnout combined with Election Day ballots on Nov. 6 provided Dorchester’s choices: mostly Republican, and mostly incumbents. Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd K. Rutherford were overwhelming favorites in the county on their way to re-election, getting 74.7 percent of the vote in Dorchester. Democratic challengers Ben Jealous and Susan Turnbull earned 24.4 percent locally. Comptroller Peter Franchot, a Democrat, was re-elected. He had wide support in Dorchester, as he ended up with 68.9 percent, to Republican Anjali Reed Phukan’s 31 percent. In the other top state post, though Democrat Brian E. Frosh, the incumbent, won the state, he fell in Dorchester to Republican Craig Wolf, 56.3 to 43.7 percent. For national posts, the GOP’s Tony Campbell could claim victory in Dorchester over Democrat Ben Cardin, 48 to 47.9 percent, though Sen. Cardin won re-election. Incumbent U.S. Representative Andy Harris will return to Washington, with 56.5 percent of the county’s vote. He beat Democrat Jesse Colvin in Dorchester, who garnered 42.5 percent. State Senator Addie Eckardt will remain in her post, representing Maryland’s District 37. Sen. Eckardt won 63.1 percent in the county, to Democrat Holly Wright’s 36.8. “Thank you so much. Once again, I am proud and honored to serve the Mid Shore and to continue to work for you in Annapolis,” Sen. Eckardt wrote in a post online. “Let’s continue to build a strong local team for good in the district. Because of you all I am blessed.” Democrat Sheree Sample-Hughes beat Republican Frank E. Cooke in House of Delegates District 37A, 68.3-31.5. In 37B, Republicans Christopher T. Adams (36.4) and Johnny Mautz (47.0) beat Democrat Dan O’Hare (16.4). “Special shout out to Dan O’Hare — Dan campaigned tirelessly and cares deeply about improving our community!” Delegate Mautz wrote the day after the election. “God Bless you, Dan, and I hope to see you in the future.” Mr. O’Hare replied, “Thanks, John Mautz! It was great getting to know you!” The big changes took place in choosing the next Dorchester County Council. Only two members, Ricky C. Travers (District 3) and William Nichols (District 2) were re-elected. Both were unopposed — Mr. Nichols received 98.5 percent, and Mr. Travers received 97.5 percent.
