==Gubernatorial campaign== This sentence makes no sense at all.  Agnew ran for the position of Governor of Maryland in 1966. In this overwhelmingly Democratic state, he was elected after the Democratic nominee, George P. Mahoney, a Baltimore paving contractor and perennial candidate running on an anti-integration platform, narrowly won the Democratic gubernatorial primary out of a crowded slate of eight candidates, trumping early favorite Carlton R. Sickles.  

 So he won after someone else "narrowly won"?  Or was he elected AFTER Mahoney's term was up?  It makes no sense at all.
