GREENBELT, Md. (AP) - Rep. Steny Hoyer and former Gov. Martin O’Malley are gathering to show support for Rushern Baker’s campaign for governor.
They are gathering in Greenbelt for a rally with campaign volunteers on Saturday. Then, they are scheduled to knock on doors to encourage voter turnout.
Baker, who is the county executive of Prince George’s County, is running in a crowded Democratic primary. Recent polls have shown he’s in a close race with former NAACP President Ben Jealous.
Baker’s running mate, Elizabeth Embry is attending the event.
Valerie Ervin, who was running in the primary before deciding to support Baker earlier this month, also is attending, as well as her running mate Marisol Johnson.
Maryland’s primary is Tuesday.
