Gov. Hogan knows it’s common sense that our state should responsibly manage its finances without raising taxes on Marylanders. We can make improvements without raising taxes.
As governor, he re-funded our police, provided record education funding every year, and made critical improvements to Maryland’s infrastructure and completed the top priority projects in every jurisdiction without raising taxes.
When people get to keep more of their own money in their own pockets, everybody wins.
This week, hundreds of new taxes and fees will take effect and billions of dollars in additional tax hikes are on the horizon to pay for Maryland’s skyrocketing budget deficit.
The impact will be even bigger and far more crushing for Maryland families who are already struggling with high prices–especially the vulnerable Marylanders disproportionately hurt by taxes and fees.
While hardworking families are forced to deal with the financial consequences of inflation and struggle to pay their bills, our leaders have decided to make it even harder for them to make ends meet.

We also cut or eliminate hundreds of fees across the board.
I know that when people get to keep more of their own money in their own pockets, everybody wins.
Unfortunately, my opponent is already talking about raising taxes on her constituents in Prince George’s County, campaigning on raising Social Security taxes at the federal level, and now clearly supports raising taxes statewide.
Now more than ever, Marylanders need someone fighting for their pocketbooks.
That’s what I did in Annapolis, and it’s how I will continue to lead for Maryland in the United States Senate.
Together, we will return common sense to Maryland AND Washington.
Thank you,
Governor Larry Hogan
A Personal Message from Governor Larry Hogan:
Hi, it’s Governor Larry Hogan.
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!
