Maryland Matters reports:
Former Del. Dan Cox, the 2022 Republican nominee for governor in Maryland, appears to have filed to run for Congress in the 6th District on Monday. But in a brief interview, Cox, who is contemplating the 6th District race to replace U.S. Rep. David Trone (D-6th), said it wasn’t him.
Someone filed electronic paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Monday, entering Cox into the 6th District race. But Cox said he and his wife Valerie are still discussing the possibility of him running for Congress next year and haven’t made any definitive plans.
“We didn’t make a decision,” Cox said. “I’d like to know who did this.” Cox’s entry into the race would no doubt delight Democrats, as they struggle to hold on to Trone’s seat now that the three-term congressman has decided to run for U.S. Senate in 2024.

I have not filed. We’ve reported this matter to the FEC for fraud.

🚨Dan Cox just won the Republican nom for Gov in Maryland. FYI-he’s the guy who organized buses to DC on Jan. 6, tweeted during the the Capitol attack that Mike Pence was a “traitor,” tried to impeach current MD Gov Larry Hogan over his COVID response & spoke at a QAnon event…
