At energy forum, 10 Democrats vying for Sarbanes’ seat talk climate issues affecting vulnerable communities

Ten of the 22 Democratic candidates running in Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District met Tuesday to discuss race, economic opportunity and the environmental crises facing Maryland’s most vulnerable populations.

The seat represents several communities along Anne Arundel County’s eastern border with the Chesapeake Bay that are susceptible to rising sea levels, including Annapolis, Cape Saint Claire and Riviera Beach. Currently held by John Sarbanes, a Democrat, the seat also represents all of Howard County and parts of Carroll County.
