Baltimore’s Democratic Party has scheduled a process for replacing former Sen. Nathaniel Oaks, who resigned from the Maryland General Assembly and pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges last week.
The Baltimore City Democratic Central Committee announced it will hold interviews and vote on a replacement for Oaks’ 41st Legislative District Senate seat on April 17.
Applicants have until April 13 to mail their resumes to P.O. Box 23762, Baltimore, MD 21203.
“The Baltimore City Democratic Central Committee is committed to an open, transparent, and expeditious process for filling this vacancy to ensure that the residents in the 41st Legislative District have adequate representation,” Scherod Barnes, the central committee chairman, said in a statement.
Once the central committee selects a candidate for replacing Oaks, his or her name will be forwarded to Gov. Larry Hogan. Hogan then has 15 days to fill the seat, and he must appoint a candidate nominated by the central committee.
