This wasn’t something I thought I’d be saying when this election cycle started, but Maryland could very well decide Senate control in November.

I’m serious, John — Republican Larry Hogan was recruited by Mitch McConnell for this exact purpose: To put Maryland in play for 2024.

I’m about to give you 3 reasons why your support is critical in the fight to keep MD blue, but before I do that: Will you pitch in a grassroots donation toward our Defend the Senate Fund to defeat Larry Hogan and hold off a GOP takeover in the Senate?

Here are 3 key reasons why we need to pull out all the stops in Maryland, John:

1) Larry Hogan is dangerous. His claim that he’s a moderate is a facade, because as governor, he vetoed legislation to expand abortion access in Maryland.

2) Angela Alsobrooks would make a tremendous U.S. Senator. She’s got the experience, the grassroots support, and a command of the issues that matter most to MD.

3) Polling shows this race is a dead heat. Hogan is backed by McConnell and his GOP super PACs, and in a race this close, we need to be ready to respond at a moment’s notice.

Hogan turned a safe blue seat into a must-win battleground, and when it comes to helping Angela Alsobrooks, I’m all-in, John. Can you please rush $25 toward our Defend the Senate Fund to keep MD — and the Senate — blue in November?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Defeating Larry Hogan won’t be easy, but doing so is mission critical in our effort to defend the Senate.

We know what we need to do, so let’s get to work.
