Neil Parrott is a far-right extremist with a long and unapologetic record of attacking LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and public education in Maryland. A former state delegate and three-time failed congressional candidate, Parrott has made a career out of targeting trans youth, opposing marriage equality, and aligning with anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups. He led the fight to overturn Maryland’s marriage equality law, tried to block protections for transgender Marylanders, and voted to deny IVF coverage for same-sex couples—all while pushing a Christian nationalist agenda.
Now, Parrott is running again in 2026 for Maryland’s 6th Congressional District—a Biden-won swing district he’s already lost three times. His views are out-of-step with the district, but he’s counting on voter fatigue and extremist donor money to buy his way back onto the ballot.
Agenda PAC is sounding the alarm early: Neil Parrott is Maryland’s most dangerous anti-LGBTQ+ candidate—and he must be defeated.
Key Vulnerabilities
Extensive anti-LGBTQ+ legislative record: Parrott led statewide campaigns to repeal marriage equality and trans protections, repeatedly introducing anti-trans bills in the legislature and fighting LGBTQ+ family rights.
Extremist public rhetoric: He’s made dangerous comments about LGBTQ+ youth, trivialized marital rape, and attacked reproductive rights in ways that alienate moderates and independents.
Lost twice in a competitive swing district: Despite high name recognition and multiple runs for Congress, he has been rejected by voters in both 2022 and 2024—and is running again in 2026.
Running in a Biden-won district trending Democratic: MD-6 continues to shift blue, and Parrott has failed to adapt—he’s far out of step with the district’s suburban, pro-equality majority.
Neil Parrott represents the most dangerous type of anti-LGBTQ+ extremist in Maryland politics: one with legislative experience, name ID, deep ties to national hate networks—and a losing record in a district that’s rejecting his agenda.
He has:
A proven, documented record of attacking LGBTQ+ rights and families.
Public statements that alienate suburban moderates.
Lost three consecutive elections—and is still running.
