A businessman is spending millions of his own money on the primary election campaign for Maryland’s opening U.S. Senate seat.
Three-term U.S. Rep. David Trone, D-District 6, is campaigning for a promotion to the U.S. Senate. He’s one of the top-polling Democrats in the race to succeed U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, who announced in May he’s not running for reelection to a fourth term.

“I’m an idea guy, and we can make things happen,” Trone told 11 News. “I am ranked four out of 535 (members of Congress as) most bipartisan. I get stuff done. We moved 26 bills (in the) last Congress on addiction and mental health alone. “We’re losing 110,000 people each year — 80% are fentanyl. I lost my nephew; he died at age 24.”

Trone, 68, is proud of his accomplishments on core issues in the House and said he can do even more in the Senate.
“The third piece I worked relentlessly is the systemic racism we have in our criminal justice system,” Trone told 11 News.

“The way you get stuff done is work across the aisle,” Trone said. “There’s so many places that we come together, but you can’t waste your time talking to the 40 crazies because they ain’t doing a damn thing but trying to hurt our country.”
Trone is a proponent of term limits, gun control and codifying abortion rights in federal law.

He has spent $41 million so far on his self-funded campaign and said it’s worth it because he doesn’t waste time fundraising, and everyone knows his vote is not for sale.

“I’m in this because I’m on a mission,” Trone told 11 News.
His statewide campaign runs on a foundation based on his upbringing.
“I started with zero. When I was 11, 12 years old, I grew up on a farm, a 200-acre farm. We didn’t have indoor toilets. We had an outhouse,” Trone told 11 News. “My father was an abusive alcoholic, and unfortunately, we went bankrupt, and my dad lost our farm, our job, our home, where we lived. We’ve struggled. We know what the importance of failure is to build resiliency and toughness, and that’s helped drive my success in life.”

Trone said his success started with this bootstrap storefront selling soda that grew into Total Wine and More, a national retail chain of liquor stores.
