Government |
The 1986 Maryland Senate election were held on November 4, 1986, to elect senators in all 47 districts of the Maryland Senate. Members were elected in single-member constituencies to four-year terms. These elections were held concurrently with various federal and state elections, including for Governor of Maryland.
Following landslide victories for Paul Sarbanes and Harry Hughes in the 1982 elections, Republicans largely spent the following four years rebuilding the party. [1] The party began its 1986 campaigns in a strong position with White House aide Linda Chavez leading the ticket, [2] however, the party's status weakened as the election approached, with it shifting its focus away from legislative gains and toward limiting its legislative losses. [3]
Seats where the margin of victory was under 10%:
District 1 • District 2 • District 3 • District 4 • District 5 • District 6 • District 7 • District 8 • District 9 • District 10 • District 11 • District 12 • District 13 • District 14 • District 15 • District 16 • District 17 • District 18 • District 19 • District 20 • District 21 • District 22 • District 23 • District 24 • District 25 • District 26 • District 27 • District 28 • District 29 • District 30 • District 31 • District 32 • District 33 • District 34 • District 35 • District 36 • District 37 • District 38 • District 39 • District 40 • District 41 • District 42 • District 43 • District 44 • District 45 • District 46 • District 47 |
