Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks walked away at the end of the night with the majority of the votes (125). Congressman David Trone finished second with 98, and the latest entrant into the field Juan Dominguez, a business executive, finished with 15 votes.
In an interview the day before the event, Wixted said the majority of those registered were from the Eastern Shore, but the first opportunity to see the candidates speak in succession also brought attendees from the D.C. suburbs of Prince George’s and Montgomery counties and from as far away as Western Maryland’s Washington County.
