We know emails like this sometimes get lost in the shuffle, so we wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to read this message from Governor Hogan.
Right now, Gov. Hogan’s opponents are running two attack ads simultaneously accusing him of having completely opposite stances.
Yes, you read that right.
Toxic partisan games like this are being played on both sides of the aisle, and they only serve to divide us from one another.
Unlike his opponents, Gov. Hogan is running for the U.S. Senate to fight for a better future for ALL Marylanders and ALL Americans.
He’ll take the slings and arrows from both sides, but he can’t do this without your support.
Your support will help us push back against these partisan attacks and enable us to tell more Marylanders why Gov. Hogan is in this race.
Thank you,
Team Hogan

John,
You can’t make this up.
Right now, my opponents are running two attack ads at the SAME TIME accusing me of having completely opposite stances.
My Republican and Democratic opponents are both aiming their fire on me.
This is a perfect example of politicians playing toxic political games only to divide us, and this is exactly why we need to send a message to Washington that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I’ll take the slings and arrows from both sides, but I can’t do this without your support.
Marylanders, you know me. The truth is, I am only in this race to fight for a better future for ALL Marylanders and ALL Americans. 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.
The reason why both sides are attacking me is because I’m a threat to status quo politics as usual in Washington. I’m not running to serve one party. I’m running to fight for Maryland and fix the broken politics–just like I did as your Governor.
For eight years as your governor, we showed how to get stuff done without getting sucked into petty partisan games. Now, it’s time to bring this common sense approach to Washington with your help.
It’s clear from my opponent’s ads that they will say anything about me to get ahead in this election, regardless of the truth. That’s why we need all the support we can get right now - we need to push back against their political games.
I’ve said it before, but it is worth repeating: I’m in the race to become the next U.S. Senator from Maryland for YOU, not to fall in line with my political party or get the fancy title.
Like many Marylanders I’ve spoken with, I too am sick of our politicians choosing petty political games and partisan bickering instead of GETTING TO WORK for the people.
Thank you for your support. I look forward to getting the opportunity to meet with you on the campaign trail!
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!
