The 1982 Senate election in Maryland took place on November 2, 1982, simultaneously with other elections for seats in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in addition to gubernatorial openings. Incumbent Democratic Senator Paul Sarbanes won reelection to a second term in office. He defeated the Republican nominee, former Representative from Maryland's 5th district and Prince George's County Executive Lawrence Hogan.

Contents

Sarbanes carried Garrett County, the state's westernmost county and one which is so strongly Republican that it has never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate as of 2024. Sarbanes would repeat this feat six years later in 1988, but no Democrat has won Garrett County in a Senate election since then. [1]
