All 47 of Maryland's state senators were up for reelection. Leading up to the 1982 elections, Republicans were hopeful to gain seats in the legislature, citing Lawrence Hogan and Robert A. Pascal leading the party's ticket in the U.S. Senate and gubernatorial elections, and Ronald Reagan's strong performance in the state during the 1980 United States presidential election and subsequent legislative accomplishments. However, the elections provided to be a major setback for the party as Democrats were able to gain one seat from the Republicans in the state Senate, and Hogan and Pascal lost their elections in landslides.Feinstein John Square One For Md.
