Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger has not had a Democratic primary challenger since he was first elected in 2006.

Attorney Robbie Leonard said Monday he will challenge Shellenberger in next June’s primary.

Leonard is the secretary of the Maryland Democratic Party. He said Shellenberger is out of touch with Democratic primary voters. Specifically, Leonard criticized the state’s attorney for not prosecuting police officers involved in fatal shootings.
