Prior to being elected the state’s 33rd Comptroller, Franchot served in the House of Delegates, representing District 20 from 1987-2007. As the state’s chief fiscal officer, Comptroller Franchot has been a leading voice for fiscal responsibility and expanded economic opportunity.

Comptroller Franchot released the following statement:

“With first-hand experience creating jobs and helping small businesses grow, John knows how to solve our fiscal challenges and get our citizens back to work. Maryland's 6th District needs a Congressman who will bring people together to build an economic future that supports the middle class, and that’s John Delaney.”

Comptroller Franchot’s endorsement is the latest in a series of major endorsements received by Delaney, who has also been endorsed by President Clinton, the Washington Post, and former Montgomery County Executive Doug Duncan.
