The&nbsp;<em>Associated Press<\/em>&nbsp;called the race at  9:32 p.m., with 92% of the vote counted so far.<\/p>\n<p>The wife of former district representative John Delaney, April Delaney fought through a wide-ranging Democratic primary to take her seat in Congress. April Delaney had to fend off state Del. Joe Vogel, among a host of other Democrats, to get the nomination. She led the candidates decisively in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fec.gov\/data\/elections\/house\/MD\/06\/2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">fundraising<\/a>, helping her grab the win.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat had a heated campaign against Parrott, getting into a shouting match with him at an <a href=\"https:\/\/marylandmatters.org\/2024\/10\/07\/6th-district-candidate-forum-erupts-in-anger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">October candidate forum<\/a>.

Parrott finished his remarks, saying Delaney &ldquo;had no record to run on,&rdquo; before he left the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Both candidates then began shouting at each other off-microphone before the event&rsquo;s hosts closed out the event. Parrott later returned to shake Delaney&rsquo;s hand.<\/p>\n<p>The district is easily the most competitive in Maryland, and the forum could&rsquo;ve shown the heat the candidates were under to win. <\/p>\n<p>Delaney has often criticized Parrott for his &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">extreme policies&#038;rdquo<\/a>; and worked to make his past stances on abortion a prominent election issue.
