Maryland Green Party Names Governor Candidate Ahead August Deadline
After its own online primary, the Maryland Green Party has named candidates for governor and other offices, with the final list due to the State Board of Elections by August 3.
How we reported this
The Maryland Green Party has announced its nominees for the 2026 general election following an online primary conducted independently after the party was excluded from state-run primary elections.
Nominees for Statewide and Congressional Races
Andy Ellis and Owen Andrews are the party’s nominees for governor and lieutenant governor. For Congress, the party selected Nancy Wallace in Maryland’s 8th Congressional District, Sam Husseini in the 4th District, and Moshe Landman in the 6th District.
Baltimore and Local County Contests
Other nominees include Renaud Brown for delegate in Baltimore’s 45th District, Nater Kane for Howard County Executive, and Artiium Arbyummi for Charles County commissioner in the 4th District. These selections place a Green Party candidate directly in a Baltimore legislative race.
Certification and Submission Timeline
Maryland election officials are scheduled to certify the Democratic and Republican primary results on July 23, 2026. The Green Party has stated that its final candidate list must be submitted to the State Board of Elections by August 3.
What Happens Next
The immediate focus for the Maryland Green Party is preparing and delivering its complete candidate list to the State Board of Elections before the August 3 deadline. Once submitted, the nominees will appear on the general election ballot. Party officials will continue outreach in districts such as Baltimore’s 45th to support candidates like Renaud Brown while meeting all state filing requirements.
The process follows the party’s decision to run its own primary after exclusion from the official system. With the certification of major-party results occurring on July 23, the Green Party’s August 3 filing date creates a clear next administrative step before the general election campaign begins in earnest.
Local races in Baltimore and surrounding counties now have named Green Party candidates who will seek to build support ahead of November. The timeline requires the party to finalize paperwork and confirm eligibility details with state officials in the coming days.
