So, now I’m doing something I really didn’t think I’d do this year — I’m endorsing Larry Hogan. The only truthful ad I’ve seen from the Alsobrooks campaign is one that remixes interviews of Governor Hogan saying “I’m a Republican” — you’ve probably seen it too. But I respect that Hogan has rejected his party’s extreme demands and always listened to Maryland voters. Governor Hogan not only refused to accept Trump’s endorsement, he also stood up to him when he falsely claimed victory in 2020 and protected democracy from the insurrectionists on January 6. Unlike the MAGA wing of his party, Hogan is in favor of codifying abortion rights and banning assault weapons — measures Maryland voters have expressed strong support for.
