Republicans picked up six seats from the Democrats by tying themselves to the tax-cutting debate surrounding the gubernatorial election between Parris Glendening and Ellen Sauerbrey. This strategy was especially effective in Montgomery County, where Republicans campaigned on the county only getting 52 cents for every dollar in tax revenue it contributed to the state. The elections were marked by the legislature's highest turnover rate since 1974, which gave Republicans their largest legislative gains since the 1950s.[1]
