A veteran and former Pentagon official, Maryland attorney Richard J. Douglas is making his second run for the Republican Senate nomination, hoping to become his party's nominee to replace Sen. Barbara Mikulski. Douglas, who lives in College Park, finished second in the 2012 GOP Senate primary to Dan Bongino. Douglas served as a deputy assistant Secretary of Defense in the George W. Bush administration and spent five years on Capitol Hill as a staff attorney to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee. During the 1970s, he served aboard a Navy submarine and, in 2006, was recalled from reserve duty to serve in Iraq. Other major candidates for the nomination are Kathy Szeliga, a state delegate from of Baltimore County, and Chrys Kefalas, an executive at the Washington-based National Association of Manufacturing.
