U.S. Representative · Congressional District 7 · Maryland · 2026 Primary
A U.S. Representative serves as your district's voice in Congress, where they vote on federal laws, national budgets, and policies that impact daily life. They are responsible for securing federal funding for local infrastructure and helping residents resolve issues with federal agencies, such as the Social Security Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs. This office matters because it ensures your community’s specific needs and priorities are represented in the national government.
View all candidates in this raceMark S. Conway, Jr., currently serving as a Baltimore City Councilmember, is running for U.S. Representative in Maryland. He was raised by two corrections officers whose union jobs lifted them out of the Projects and into the middle class, instilling a respect for those who keep communities safe. His career includes work at the EPA protecting communities from pollution, using data to hold agencies accountable in City Hall, leading nonprofits to expand opportunity, and representing Baltimore's 4th District where he fought crime and held BGE accountable for price gouging. He states that Washington policies shape daily lives of families and that communities suffer when accountability breaks down. His goal is to build a Baltimore where energy is affordable, housing is stable, healthcare is universal, neighborhoods are safe, and no community is treated as expendable.

Baltimore deserves a leader who listens, leads with integrity, and fights for real results.
I'm running for Congress because it's going to take a different playbook to fight for the future we deserve.
As your next Congressman, I'll take on the machine to bring down utility bills, bring grocery stores into our neighborhoods, and bring resources that keep Baltimore safe through trust and partnership, not force and performance.
My goal is simple—to build a Baltimore where energy is affordable, housing is stable, healthcare is universal, neighborhoods are safe, and no community is treated as expendable.

Maryland Matters reports that Conway filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to create a campaign committee for a potential Democratic primary challenge in 2026 against Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-7th). A spokesperson noted Conway is consulting with residents and community leaders as he carefully considers all paths forward to best serve the people of Baltimore. The article notes that senior Democrats across the country are facing pressure from younger leaders to step aside, and Conway's run comes in this context.
