The latest Baltimore Sun column by UMBC political science professor Thomas Schaller delves into the Democratic primary election in Maryland’s Sixth Congressional District, a seat held by longtime Republican incumbent Roscoe Bartlett.

Schaller focuses on the candidacy of Dr. Milad Pooran, a 35-year-old Iranian-American physician and veteran of the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps. He sees Pooran as both “a different kind of candidate” and distinct from Maryland current Democratic House delegates who, as a group, “aren’t short on political careerism or business connections.” Learn more in his Sun column.
