I just cast my ballot in today’s Primary Election!
It is an unbelievable honor to be your candidate for the U.S. Senate, and I am both humbled by and grateful for the overwhelming support we have received to be able to make it to this day.
As you’ve probably heard me say before, I’m in this Senate race because I am sick and tired of the division, partisan bickering, and inaction of many of our politicians in Washington today.
I CANNOT stand by and watch the dysfunction continue without doing everything in my power to fix the broken politics. We have to GET BACK TO WORK to solve the biggest issues facing Marylanders and Americans.
Depending on the results today, the Democrats will either elect the self-funded billionaire or the candidate backed by the Democratic machine. Regardless of who they pick, I am and will continue to be the financial underdog in this race.
We can end politics as usual and get back to work, but I need your help.
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!
