David John Trone (born September 21, 1955)[1][2] is an American politician and businessman serving as the U.S. representative for Maryland's 6th congressional district. The district includes most of the western third of the state, but the bulk of its population is in the outer northern suburbs of Washington, D.C. Trone founded and co-owns Total Wine & More with his brother, and served as the company's president until December 2016.[3]
In 2016, Trone spent more than $13 million of his own money on his unsuccessful Democratic primary campaign to succeed Chris Van Hollen in Maryland's 8th congressional district, setting a record for the most expensive self-funded House campaign. In 2018, Trone was the Democratic nominee for the 6th district and won the general election to succeed John Delaney.
Trone is currently a candidate for the United States Senate in the 2024 election to succeed Ben Cardin.
Trone was born in Maryland and raised on a 200-acre (81 ha) farm in East Berlin, Pennsylvania,[4][5] where his father Thomas ran a chicken and hog operation.[6][7] Thomas also owned a soda and beer store. When Trone's parents separated, his father kept the farm and his mother took over the store.[6] Thomas and his farm went into bankruptcy,[8][9] but Trone kept working at his mother's store.[6]
Trone graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Furman University in 1977,[10][11] and earned a Master of Business Administration in 1985 from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.[12][13][14]

Having seen the potential of the beer sales at his mother's store,[6] Trone began his career by founding the beer-only retailer Beer World in Pennsylvania in 1984, during his second semester of graduate school.[15] Months before graduating from Wharton, in 1985, Trone expanded into the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Over time, he opened additional stores, called Beer and Pop Warehouse and, later, Beer World, which were owned by friends and family members because Pennsylvania state law prohibited individuals from owning more than one beer retail outlet.[16]
Trone, with his brother Robert's help, opened two stores in Delaware in 1991, adding wine and spirits to the company's offerings.[5][17] Using knowledge acquired at Wharton, the brothers chose to replicate the family store's model across Pennsylvania. The beverage company had slim margins, but was immediately profitable and allowed the brothers to focus on operations.[6] They familiarized themselves with regulators and industry leaders, and began changing laws that restrict wholesalers from offering retailers discounts in exchange for large volume purchases, among others, in their attempt to promote beverage consumption.[6]
The business has since expanded into what is known today as Total Wine & More, the largest privately owned beer, wine, and spirits retailer in the U.S.[18][19] In December 2016, Trone gave up his title of president to chief executive Kevin Peters.[4]
Beginning in 1989 and over the next three years, Pennsylvania authorities arrested Trone three times following complaints from an association of smaller, individually owned stores.[16][20][21] One arrest was for negotiating volume discounts on behalf of multiple stores and illegally advertising beer prices,[16] and one was for circumventing state transportation regulations. The charges were later dismissed.[16]
In 1992, a grand jury in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, indicted Trone, his wife, June, and his brother for owning multiple stores through Trone's consulting company, among other charges, all of which were later dropped and expunged.[22] In 1994, a state judge dismissed 19 of the 23 counts based on "prosecutorial overreaching", and the remaining counts were withdrawn after Trone paid a $40,000 fee to cover investigation costs.[16][22]
During these legal proceedings, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) broke the law by providing records of his consulting firm to government officials, prompting Trone to sue the agency in federal court. He won and was awarded $400,000. The lawyer who had represented Trone also served as a national board member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which began a long-term relationship between Trone and the ACLU.[16] The Trones' difficulties in Pennsylvania prompted them to leave the state; Total Wine & More grew from the remaining two stores in Delaware and an additional retail outlet in New Jersey, which Trone had opened in the early 1990s.[16]
In 2016, the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission served Total Wine with a license suspension for selling liquor below its costs.[23] The company appealed the commission's decision, and in 2017 the Suffolk Superior Court sided with Total Wine.[24]

Trone has been active in Democratic politics and hosted fundraisers for the party.[25][13] In 2014, he hosted a fundraiser for gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown that former president Bill Clinton attended, and in November 2015, he held a fundraiser at his home for the Democratic National Committee, which President Obama attended.[25][8][26] Trone also contributed to Republican politicians; according to OpenSecrets, he donated more than $150,000 to Republicans in multiple U.S. states between 2000 and 2015.[27] The Washington Post reported that Trone contributed more than $90,000 to Democratic state officials during the same period, and said the donations made to Republicans were to support "legislation or regulatory changes favorable to his company".[27] Trone said the donations "represented the cost of doing business, especially in states with Republican-controlled state houses and governor's mansions".[8][27]
In January 2016, Trone entered the Democratic primary campaign to succeed Chris Van Hollen in Maryland's 8th congressional district; this was the real contest in the heavily Democratic district. He ran on reducing unemployment and gun violence, criminal justice reform, environmental protection, and education and foreign policy. Trone pledged to support early education, work with the National Institutes of Health to reduce health care costs, improve infrastructure, and forgive more student loans for government employees.[9]
Trone spent more than $13 million on his unsuccessful campaign,[28] which became the most expensive self-funded House campaign ever.[29][30][31][32] The first-time candidate said a large personal investment was necessary in order to stand out in a crowded race that included well-known rivals, including news anchor and Marriott International executive Kathleen Matthews and the winner, State Senator Jamie Raskin.[13][29][33] After the election, Trone told NPR, "We knew it would be very expensive. We're not surprised by what it cost at all. We anticipated that, and it was a thoughtful choice my wife and I made... It was the right decision to take no money from anybody."[29]

During his campaigns, Trone refused to accept campaign contributions from corporations, lobbyists, or special interests.[84] He supports bipartisan redistricting reform, including the creation of an independent redistricting commission, and has blamed Republican strategist Karl Rove for "inventing gerrymandering".[85][86]
In March 2016, Trone called on the Maryland State Board of Elections to make their electronic voting machines more accessible for disabled voters, saying that the machines were not programmed to show all candidates on a single screen.[87]
In November 2018, the day following his election win, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Benisek v. Lamone struck down Maryland's redistricting plan as unconstitutionally gerrymandered.[88] Trone later defended Maryland's congressional map during an appeal of the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, submitting an amicus brief to the court in February 2019.[89] In March 2019, Trone criticized Governor Larry Hogan's proposed redraw of Maryland's congressional maps—which saw Maryland's sixth congressional district redrawn to include Frederick and Carroll counties, thereby making it more favorable to Republicans—calling his proposal "not germane".[90]
In March 2022, after Maryland's congressional maps were redrawn following a court ruling that struck down the state's previous maps, Trone praised the court ruling as "moving the state away from partisan gerrymandering" and again called for national redistricting reform.[91]

In December 2018, before being sworn into office, he traveled with a bipartisan group of freshmen House members to Israel, during which he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, opposition leader Tzipi Livni, and Palestine Liberation Organization lead negotiator Saeb Erekat.[107][108]
In 2019, Trone voted for a resolution condemning the BDS movement.[106] In 2023, he co-sponsored an amendment to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act that would require the U.S. Department of Defense to report on whether any of its contractors support BDS.[109]

Trone supports the Affordable Care Act, calling it a "good start" but said it needed revising.[122]
On President Biden's first day in office, Trone introduced the Preventing Mental Health and Substance Use Crises During Emergencies Act, which Trone said was needed because "we will never have a vaccine to cure the mental health [...] epidemic that [has] been exacerbated by this pandemic".[123] After a police officer from his district died by suicide, Trone introduced the Confidentiality Opportunities for Peer Support (COPS) Counseling Act, which provided confidential counseling for law enforcement officers.[124] President Joe Biden signed the COPS Act into law in November 2021.[125]

Trone co-chairs the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force with Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania.[127] According to The Washington Post, Trone "is at the center of bipartisan efforts in Congress to make a major investment in putting a dent in the opioid epidemic."[127] Driven by the loss of his nephew, he has made fighting the opioid epidemic one of his top priorities and drew praise from Fitzpatrick, who said that Trone "is the hardest-working person on the floor on this issue."[127] Most bills Trone has passed on the issue have been bipartisan.[128]
Trone opposes the Trump wall[104] and supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.[129] In January 2019, he called for the end to the 2018–2019 federal government shutdown after Republicans proposed what he called "viable solutions to the end shutdown". which included $900 million toward border security enhancements as opposed to funding for the border wall.[85] In June 2019, Trone voted for a bill to provide $4.6 billion in humanitarian aid to the Mexico–United States border.[130]

Wade and to protect patients traveling to receive abortion services.[140]
