Maryland's 8th Congressional District
Maryland's 8th congressional district stretches from the northern Washington, D. C., suburbs north to the Pennsylvania border. Following the 2020 redistricting cycle, it will no longer reach north into Frederick and Carroll counties, instead being concentrated solely in Montgomery County, comprising many economically and culturally diverse inner suburbs of Washington D.C.
