The Baltimore County Democratic Central Committee announced that they have selected Carl Jackson to replace outgoing Delegate Eric Bromwell in the 8th Legislative District.
“I am honored to have been chosen the next Delegate from District 8,” Jackson said in a statement last night.
Jackson is from Rosedale and ran for The House of Delegate in 2018. Nina McHugh was another Democrat seeking the vacant seat.
“I want to thank Nina McHugh for her hard work and determination<" Jackson said about McHugh. "Nina has been an fierce advocate for foster children and because of her advocacy I have offered to work with her on a Foster Child Bill of Rights."
In addition to Rosedale, the 8th District also encompasses the Perry Hall, Parkville, Overlea and Loch Raven areas.
The Democratic Central committee has also selected Cathi Forbes to replace outgoing 42A District Delegate Steve Lafferty in the Towson area.
The Central Committee will send their recommendations to Gov. Larry Hogan’ s office for the official appointment for both Jackson and Forbes.
The two seats became vacant when Bromwell and Lafferty gave up their delegate seats to join Baltimore County Executive John Olszewski’s administration.
