When I decided to run for the U.S. Senate, I did so with the firm conviction that I would not compromise my principles for any person OR any political party. Rather than fall in line to score political points, I would rather stand up for what I believe in and do what is right.
It’s how I approached serving as Maryland’s governor for eight years, and it’s the same leadership style I will bring to the U.S. Senate.
I will ALWAYS put our country ahead of my party. This shouldn’t be an extreme position - it’s the right thing to do.
But the status quo for elected politicians has become partisan fights and political theater instead of working in the best interests of ALL of the people.
Enough is enough. It’s time to return to normalcy and find common ground for the common good.
We can do this, but we need grassroots supporters like you to send a message loud and clear to Washington that we are fed up with politics-as-usual!
Washington’s top priority should be addressing the biggest issues facing Americans by working together to actually get things done.
Whether it is the border, rising crime, or skyrocketing costs - our politicians have a responsibility to act, not grandstand.
If I’m elected, I’ll be the most commonsense, reasonable guy who can work across the aisle to get things done. There are too many serious issues in this country to be any other way.
It’s time to get back to work. It’s time to put country before party once again.
When I launched my campaign for the U.S. Senate, I did so with a deep resolve to maintain the leadership style and principles that guided me during my eight years as governor.
Fifty years ago, my father, Maryland Congressman Larry Hogan Sr. made a tough decision. He became the first Republican to come out for the impeachment of President Nixon. He put aside party politics and his own personal considerations and stepped up to do the right thing for Maryland and the nation.
Today, Washington is completely broken because that kind of leadership and willingness to put country over party has become far too rare. But it’s not in my nature to sit back and watch the dysfunction continue without doing what I can to roll up my sleeves and get to work.
I’m under no illusion this will be an easy road. But I’m no stranger to uphill battles, and I know I can’t do it without your support.
I don't aspire to be a United States senator. I don’t need a title and I don’t need a job, but I’m more concerned than ever about the direction of the country and I have become more convinced that I can make a difference by taking the approach and style of leadership I had during my eight years as governor to Washington.
It’s no surprise this mindset has made me a target of the Washington partisans. Despite early polls showing a lead, I know I’m the underdog in this race. And that’s why your support TODAY is so crucial.
For eight years, we proved that the toxic politics that divide our nation didn’t need to divide our state, and we got results! Let’s get back to work again and send a message to Washington that will be heard loud and clear across the country!
