Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD), a veteran lawmaker who took a bipartisan approach to legislating and focused on national security issues during his 11 terms in Congress, announced on Friday he won’t be running for reelection to his Baltimore County-based House seat. His announcement ensures a flurry of Democratic activity in the Baltimore County-based district, which covers one of the largest Jewish constituencies in the country — including the Baltimore suburb of Pikesville. The district is solidly Democratic, giving President Joe Biden 59% of the vote in 2020. Ruppersberger, 77, has been one of the most moderate members of the Maryland delegation, and worked closely with former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) during his tenure as ranking Democrat on the powerful committee. He currently serves on the House Appropriations Committee and its Defense Subcommittee.
