Incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski decided to retire after five terms in the Senate.https://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/barbara-mikulski-no-reelection-2016-115650.html?hp=l2_4 Barbara Mikulski won't seek reelection in 2016 Politico Kyle Cheney and Burgress Everett March 2, 2015 March 2, 2015 Primary elections were held April 26, 2016, in which Chris Van Hollen and Kathy Szeliga were chosen as the Democratic and Republican party nominees, respectively. In addition, the Green Party chose Margaret Flowers and the Libertarian Party chose Arvin Vohra as their respective nominees. Van Hollen was heavily favored to win the election. He ultimately won with over 60% of the vote. As typically occurs with the state's elections, most support for the Democratic nominee, Van Hollen, came from the densely populated Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area in central Maryland, while the Republican nominee, Szeliga, did well in the more sparsely populated areas on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland, and narrowly won Anne Arundel County, home to the state capital Annapolis, as well as exurban Frederick County. Background Mikulski first ran for the U.S. Senate in 1974, losing to Republican incumbent Charles Mathias. Mikulski then served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1977 to 1987 and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, succeeding the retiring Mathias. She was re-elected by large margins in 1992, 1998, 2004 and 2010. Shortly after being sworn in for her fifth term in 2011, she succeeded Margaret Chase Smith as the longest-serving female senator in U.S. history,Marbella, Jean "Mikulski's milestone: the Senate's longest-serving woman" The Baltimore Sun January 5, 2011 and on March 17, 2012, she became the longest-serving female member of Congress in U.S. history, surpassing Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts, who served from 1925 to 1960.CNN.com: Mikulski makes history while creating 'zone of civility' for Senate women On March 2, 2015, Mikulski announced that she would not run for re-election to a sixth term in office. In August 2013, Abby Livingston of Roll Call had predicted that a potential retirement by Mikulski would create "chaos" and "blow open Maryland's political bottleneck" because "the state's teeming political Democratic Party talent is backed up in lower offices."http://www.rollcall.com/news/chaos_comes_in_marylands_next_open_senate_race_farm_team-227010-1.html Chaos Comes in Maryland's Next Open Senate Race Farm Team August 12, 2013 November 21, 2014 Abby Livingston Roll Call Among the ten Democrats who ran in the primary, only two had previously been elected to an office.
