Hundreds of Marylanders came out in the cold rain to spend Saturday afternoon with us at the Back to Work BBQ last weekend, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this show of support for Gov. Hogan as we get closer to the May 14th primary election.
The fact that so many people came out for this event–even with weather like this–demonstrates just how fed up Marylanders are with the divisiveness and dysfunction in Washington, and how ready we are for change.
Events like the Back to Work BBQ enable Governor Hogan to connect with more voters and share his message. They are only possible because of grassroots support.
Partisan bickering is holding our entire country back. The only way we can make progress on the biggest issues facing Americans is by coming together, putting aside our differences, and GETTING BACK TO WORK.
Governor Hogan said it best as he spoke to the crowd at the Back to Work BBQ this weekend:
“I think you all know me after eight years. I’m a guy who likes to get things done. I don’t come from the Performative Arts School of Politics. I come from the “get to work and get things done” school.
This isn’t just your typical fight between Republicans and Democrats. This is literally a fight for America’s future, and that is a fight worth fighting for.
With your help this November, we’re going to send a loud and clear message to Washington that they’re going to hear all across the country!”
Many of our politicians say anything and everything they can to win elections. They lob insults at candidates from the opposite party while making promises they will not keep in office.
This type of politics is bad for Maryland and bad for our country. From crime and reckless spending to antisemitism on college campuses and the crisis at the southern border–there are too many issues in our country right now to continue playing these petty political games.
We have a choice this year. We can either continue down this path of partisan division and let our biggest problems go unsolved OR elect leaders who actually care about protecting America’s future–not just their party or their fancy title.
That’s why Gov. Hogan is in this race. He knows that in order to set our country back on the right track, we must end the division and GET BACK TO WORK.
Grassroots support is the only way we will be able to stay ahead in this race. Governor Hogan is being attacked by politicians and candidates on both sides of the aisle because of his message of unity over partisanship, and we need your support to tell more Marylanders his plan.
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!
