On Wednesday, Robert Wasinger, the Republican aide to a Kansas congressman, announced he would throw his hat in the ring.
The Washington Post broke down the rest of the field of announced GOP primary candidates:
- Del. Barbara Comstock, Fairfax
- Richard Shickle, chairman of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors
- Stephen Hollingshead, an official in the administration of President George W. Bush
