But Van Hollen decided to seek reelection, dashing Trachtenberg's hopes of running for Congress.
Trachtenberg, who doesn't accept contributions from developers, said she returned the money donors gave her for a congressional bid and asked them to write her another check for the council race.
The strategy paid off.
State's Attorney's (Money) Race
The Montgomery County State's Attorney race remains very much a moving target. But this much is clear:
The county's top prosecutor, Douglas F. Gansler (D), who has more than $1.4 million in his campaign chest, will almost certainly leave his job to run for state attorney general.
Montgomery County Deputy State's Attorney John McCarthy (D) has raised close to $140,000 to move into his boss's office -- more than any other person who has expressed interest in the job.
Prince George's Assistant State's Attorney John Maloney (D) has raised close to $45,000 for a possible bid to move west and up the chain of command.
Dan Fox (D), a former California prosecutor running on a platform of reducing gang activity, has raised about $3,400.
Leon Rodriguez (D), a lawyer with the firm Ober Kaler, decided not to run, "after a lot of consideration."
James Shalleck (R), a defense attorney who has twice campaigned for the seat, said he would like to take another stab at it if Gansler announces his candidacy for attorney general.
"I wouldn't run against Doug," Shalleck said, noting how much money Gansler has raised. "Everything depends on what Doug Gansler does."
