ICYMI: Crypto-curious Dem on the ballot in hot Maryland primary
Glenn Ivey, a former Hill staffer and Prince George’s County state attorney, faces former Rep. Donna Edwards in the Democratic primary for Maryland's 4th Congressional District on Tuesday.
Ivey is part of a growing contingent of crypto-curious and crypto-friendly candidates running in the 2022 midterms. Peter Thiel-backed GOP Senate hopefuls J.D. Vance in Ohio and Blake Masters in Arizona talk about crypto on the trail, as does Vance’s Democratic opponent Rep. Tim Ryan, and former Bitcoin Foundation Executive Director Bruce Fenton who is running as a Republican for Senate in New Hampshire.
Ivey’s campaign declined to answer more specific crypto policy questions, like whether he supports the sweeping crypto bill released by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Cynthia Lummis last month. Instead, a spokesperson directed The Block to the crypto platform on Ivey’s website. The page acknowledges the technology is new and that the “full scope of its applications is not yet fully understood.”
Edwards was first elected to the House seat in 2008 and gave it up to run for Senate in 2016. Her campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
