Republican Former Secret Service Agent Files To Challenge Sen. Benjamin Cardin Of Md.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A former U.S. Secret Service agent filed paperwork Wednesday for a campaign he acknowledged would be difficult: a bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Benjamin Cardin of Maryland.

Daniel Bongino, a 36-year-old Republican, resigned from his position with the Secret Service's presidential protection division in May to pursue his Senate bid.

"My campaign is about ideas, not ideology," Bongino said in an interview after filing papers at the Maryland State Board of Elections in Annapolis. "I've asked people just to step out of the ideological box and just give a look at our ideas. You'll find they're very centrist ideas on economic growth and how job production can come back to this state."

Bongino supports reducing tax rates and simplifying the tax code.
