2018 Maryland Senate Election
Elections for the Maryland Senate were held on November 6, 2018, with all 47 seats being contested. Republicans had initially hoped to break the Democrats' supermajority in the upper chamber by knocking off five incumbents, known as their "Drive for Five" plan. Though they did make a net gain of one seat, they came short of their goal. Three seats switched hands: District 9 in Carroll and Howard Counties flipped from Republican to Democratic while District 38 in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties and District 42 in Baltimore County both flipped from Democrats to Republicans. The Maryland Senate has been in Democratic hands since the elections of 1900. Despite Governor Larry Hogan's success in his gubernatorial race at the top of the ticket, nobody expected Republicans to come close to recapturing the majority. In terms of popular vote, Maryland's Republican Senate candidates performed significantly worse than they previously had in 2014. Summary Closest races Sea ...

Delores G
Dolores is a feminine given name of Spanish origin. History The Spanish word is the plural form of ''dolor'', meaning either sorrow or pain, which derives from the Latin , which has the same meaning and which may ultimately stem from Proto-Indo-European ''*delh-'', "to chop". However, the usage of "Dolores" as a given name has its origins in the strong influence that the Roman Catholic Church has on Spain and, by extension, Spanish-speaking countries. The name is a reference to ''Nuestra Señora de los Dolores'' ( ''La Virgen María de los Dolores''), one of the many titles of Mary, Mother of Jesus, typically translated to Our Lady of Sorrows in English. In given names, Dolores is frequently preceded by the name Maria (María Dolores), the Spanish form of Mary, or one may even bear the entirety of the title (María de los Dolores) as part of their given name. Notable examples of such include the Spanish noblewoman Juana María de los Dolores de León Smith and the Mexican actres ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
