This is not a drill: Former Republican Governor Larry Hogan is entering the race for Maryland’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Defending our narrow Senate majority just got a lot tougher, John, but we know that Angela Alsobrooks is the strongest candidate to take him on.

Will you RUSH an emergency $25 split donation to support Angela’s campaign and 1973 Action Fund to bring her Maryland-first message to the Senate? We need all hands on deck to defeat anti-choice Republican Larry Hogan and hold on to our Democratic Senate majority.

Hogan running is a huge deal, John, because it takes a Senate map that was already incredibly favorable for the GOP and made it even worse for Democrats.

Larry Hogan will be backed by GOP super PACs and corporate special interests chomping at the bit to try and flip Maryland red.

But ultimately, our plan to elect Angela to the Senate remains the same, John:

The key to winning is still to reach out and connect with as many voters as possible, and talk to them about Angela’s plan to put Maryland families first.

We need a HUGE outpouring of support to counter the big boost in GOP spending sure to follow Hogan’s announcement, which is why we set an EMERGENCY $50,000 goal we need to hit before midnight. Can Angela and 1973 Action Fund count on you to step up and pitch in ASAP?
