"Frank Kratovil, the Queen Anne's County State's Attorney, is widely viewed as the favorite to win the Democratic primary."
The Washington Times

"...Democrats believe they can swipe [Gilchrest's seat] next year. The party is staking its hopes on Queen Anne's County State's Attorney Frank M. Kratovil Jr., the strongest of four candidates vying for the Democratic nomination. It is also banking on a GOP primary that will leave the victor broke and bruised."

"Democratic candidate Frank Kratovil, the State's Attorney for Queen Anne's County, said he was focused on promoting a positive, issues-oriented message. 'Voters want to know how you are different,' said Kratovil, 39, a first-time candidate for U.S. Congress. For Kratovil, a Democrat running in a moderately conservative district, that means emphasizing his twelve-year-career as a prosecutor."

"The winner of the Republican primary could face Democrat Frank Kratovil who boasts the support of Governor O'Malley and former Governors Glendening and Hughes. 'This district tends to be more conservative so it's a tough district for a Democrat...One of the benefits I've had I think is being able to work with people across the aisle. I'm more interested in solving problems than I am in partisan politics, and I think most of the country is frustrated with what we see in Washington,' said Kratovil."
