AINews Summary

Last updatedJul 15, 2026

Leigha Messick is in the news because she was one of the candidates in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer. The race drew a crowded field, and recent coverage focused on the primary itself and the broader contest for the seat. Adrian Boafo was later projected to win the Democratic nomination, which means Messick did not emerge as the nominee.
