Republicans tied themselves to the tax-cutting debate surrounding the gubernatorial election between Prince George's County Executive Parris Glendening and House Minority Leader Ellen Sauerbrey, which led to the party gaining 17 seats from the Democrats. This strategy was especially effective in Anne Arundel, Howard, and Montgomery counties, where the party saw most of its gains.
