Delaney will also attend a "Congress Tea and Coffee" event at a constituent's home at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Montgomery Village, according to his website.
Delaney hopes to defeat incumbent Republican Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett, a rare battle that could turn the GOP seat blue. He outspent his primary opponent, state Sen. Rob Garagiola, 3-1 leading up to this spring, according to The Baltimore Sun, and won by a nearly 2-1 margin.
The political blog Maryland Juice named Delaney the frontrunner in the race Monday, although Republicans have vowed to hold on. Bartlett is in his tenth term and has pursued careers as a professor, research scientist and inventor, small business owner, and farmer, according to his website.
