The Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee will select Hurson's replacement in October. The replacement will have to run for a full term next year.
Oscar Ramirez , a Capitol Hill staff member for Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.), is another member of the Young Democrats who has been mentioned as a possible candidate in District 18, which includes Wheaton, Kensington and parts of Silver Spring.
And one possible District 18 House candidate is still too young even to drink alcohol.
Noah Grosfeld , son of District 18 state Sen. Sharon M. Grosfeld (D), has inquired about running, although he won't be 21 until November. (General Assembly members must be at least 21, so Grosfeld is trying to determine whether he can run for Hurson's seat this year or will have to wait until next year.)
In District 19, which includes parts of Olney and Aspen Hill, Mahoney is considering challenging incumbent Sen. Leonard H. Teitelbaum (D) or running for the House of Delegates.
In District 15, which includes North Potomac, Poolesville and Barnesville, Craig Rice is considering a bid for the House of Delegates. Rice, 33, of Germantown, works for Marriott International Inc.
Saqib Ali , a 30-year-old who last year put more than 400 "Van Hollen for Senate" bumper stickers on his Saturn, is planning on running for the House from District 39, which includes the northeastern part of the county.
In District 17, which includes Rockville and Gaithersburg, Ryan Spiegel has formed an exploratory committee and has started raising money as he considers whether to run for the House of Delegates. Spiegel, 27, is an associate at the Washington law firm of Winston & Strawn.
And if Del. Peter Franchot (D) decides to run for comptroller, another member of the Maryland Young Democrats -- Heather Mizeur of the Takoma Park City Council -- may become a candidate to replace him.
Ficker: Where Is the Love?
Robin Ficker can't understand why some Montgomery County Republican leaders are reluctant to back his campaign for county executive.
He is the only announced Republican candidate for the job.
Best known for his seemingly continual effort to petition referendums onto the ballot, the anti-tax activist and lawyer has already begun a weekly newspaper advertising campaign in support of his candidacy.
