Your support has already gotten our campaign so far, and I know together we can propel our campaign even further.
But with our deadline falling on a Sunday, I know many of my supporters will be out of pocket during the most crucial time of the quarter.
That’s why before you sign off for the weekend, I’m hoping you’ll pitch in one more time today.
As you may be aware, we’re at a severe fundraising disadvantage in this race. I’m the clear underdog and you can see that just by looking at the nearly half a million dollars my opponent raised in just one day after her primary.
But I’m no stranger to uphill battles.
I know how to use every dollar we raise wisely. Even if I’m the financial underdog in this race, I’m going to stretch every penny as far as it can go and make the most out of every donation.
But with the quarter quickly coming to a close, reaching our fundraising goal so we can reflect the incredible strength of our movement on our FEC report is key.
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!
