• Glenn Ivey has been elected to serve Maryland’s 4th District after defeating Republican challenger Jeff Warner. The seat was left open after Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.) ran instead for state attorney general. 

Prior to being elected, Ivey had a long career in law enforcement, being elected as state’s attorney for Prince George’s County twice. In that role, Ivey created a first-of-its-kind Domestic Violence Prosecution Unit and pushed for stronger witness intimidation penalties

While Ivey has never been a lawmaker, he’s worked for lawmakers in the past, including former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), and former Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.).

More recently, Ivey started his own law firm, Ivey & Levetown, in 2020, which focuses on civil litigation, criminal defense and investigations.
