Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Glenn Ivey (D) is forming an exploratory committee in the coming days for a possible primary challenge to Maryland 4th district Rep. Donna Edwards (D).

Ivey, a former senior staffer on Capitol Hill who was appointed chairman of the Maryland Public Service Commission by former Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening (D), is a well-known figure in Prince George’s politics who was also viewed as a possible contender for the county executive post.

Ivey said he has a desire to return to Capitol Hill where he worked in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
