Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin successfully secured reelection for a U.S. House seat representing Maryland during the recent election held on Tuesday.
He triumphed over Republican opponent Cheryl Riley, affirming his position for a fifth consecutive term in Maryland’s 8th Congressional District, which encompasses the majority of Montgomery County along with a small section of Prince George’s County, located in the suburban regions of the capital.

In recent years, Raskin has been a prominent figure among House Democrats, actively participating in the two impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump and probing Trump’s involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
He currently holds the position of the leading Democrat on the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
The announcement of Raskin’s victory was made by news outlets at 9:28 p.m. EST on election night, confirming his continued influence and commitment to serving his constituents.
