Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Neil Parrott (R)

Neil Parrott will work for you on DAY ONE and has a track record of results to prove it. He has a long history working for the people to stand up for common-sense policies that the majority of people support. As just a few examples, in 2002, worked with Pastor Luke J. Robinson, to keep the 10 Commandments Monument in the Bentz Street Graveyard and Memorial Grounds. In 2009, he and his wife, April, started the Hagerstown Tea Party working for balanced budgets and more freedom where they organized several bus trips to DC to work for medical freedom. In 2011, he started MDPetitions.com where he worked with citizens across the state to bring three critical issues to the ballot, the first successful statewide referendum efforts in over 20 ye

As a result of Delegate Parrott’s work to change the gerrymandered congressional maps, District 6 in Maryland is a toss-up district. Delegate Parrott is now working to beat Democrat David Trone in order to bring real representation to Northern Montgomery County and Western Maryland instead of having an inside the DC beltway insider, who doesn’t live in the district and who votes with President Biden and Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time. District r6 deserves better, and Neil Parrott will for you in DC.

1. Neil will fight inflation. Did you know that your $50 dinner now costs $4 more than last year? If you didn’t get a 8% pay raise last year, you took a pay cut because the cost to buy goods has increased by over 8% due to inflation. Neil will work to lower inflation by reducing borrowing and spending less. 2. Neil will work to lower your electricity bill and natural gas or propane costs. He will work to restore our energy independence by allowing the US to harvest our own natural resources and allowing us to use the most cost-effective energy. 3. Neil will work to LOWER YOUR TAXES. The government is too big and is taking too much of our money. Neil believes you know how best to spend your money, and he will work to let you keep more of you

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Neil Parrott (R)

Neil will work to Restore and maintain our freedom. Neil believes in the 1st Amendment right to free speech including on social media. Neil believes in our Second Amendment Right to bear arms and to protect our family and our property. The first freedom is the right to life or the right to be born. Neil is pro-life and will work to protect unborn children. Neil believes and will work for our medical freedom. He also supports our economic freedom needs to be restored by lowering taxes and reducing inflation. These freedoms rely on a fair election system Neil supports laws that will strengthen election integrity.

Neil will work for safer communities. Neil supports our Police and will work to give police the tools they need to successfully protect our communities. Neil supports protecting our borders so that we can reduce the flow of illegal drugs, human trafficking, and illegal gang activity.

Neil will work to make America Strong. Neil will work to fully fund the military and help increase our respect worldwide. He believes that we need to have fair trade deals and will work to bring manufacturing back. In addition, cyber-terrorism is crippling our businesses and needs to be fought with the full force of our military intelligence.

Neil will work to improve our transportation network. North/South roads in District 6 like US 219, I-81, and I-270 need to be widened to be able to create safer roadways and better opportunities for high-paying jobs.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Neil Parrott (R)

I am so thankful for my parents who worked to give my siblings and me great experiences growing up. The first historical event that I remember was the swearing in of Jimmy Carter as President in 1976 when I was 6 years old. Thankfully, we also attended the inauguration for Ronald Reagan four years later.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Neil Parrott (R)

Summer lifeguard at Arden Beaches in Crownsville, MD. I lifeguarded all that summer, but all of the lifeguards were eliminated the next year and "swim at your own risk" signs were posted as a result of tort liability. This change to remove liability actually made it less safe for patrons to swim. This change helped spark an early interest in changing government to work for common-sense laws that would actually help people.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Maryland in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 16, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Sixty-five candidates filed to run for Maryland's eight U.S. House districts, including 31 Democrats and 34 Republicans. That's 8.12 candidates per district, less than the 9.87 candidates per district in 2020 and more than the 6.87 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Maryland was apportioned eight districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.

Rep. Anthony Brown (D) filed to run for attorney general of Maryland, making the 4th district the only open seat this year and only the fourth U.S. House seat to open up in Maryland since 2012.

Twelve candidates — nine Democrats and three Republicans — ran to replace Brown, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. There were 15 contested primaries, eight Democratic and seven Republican. That’s one less than in 2020, and one more than in 2018.

Rep. Andrew Harris (R), the incumbent in the 1st district, was the only incumbent not to face a primary challenger this year. That’s one more than in 2020, when all eight incumbents faced primary challengers, and the same as in 2018. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all eight districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.
