Gov. Hogan isn’t just another politician–he’s in this Senate race to make real progress on the issues Marylanders and Americans care about, and he’ll work with anyone who wants to to do the people’s business.
That’s how he led for eight years as governor, and that’s exactly how he plans to lead in the Senate.
Right now, Marylanders and Americans desperately need their leaders to address the unsustainable increase in the cost-of-living.
At a time when inflation continues to hold back hardworking families, it’s clear that we need strong, independent leadership to make life more affordable.
I’m running in one of the most competitive races in the country and with my first FEC end-of-quarter deadline just 3 days away, I need to raise every penny possible. I know we can bring real change to Washington, but it’s going to take all hands on deck to get this done.
Most Americans prefer straight talk to empty rhetoric and they think it’s time for less talk and more action.
That’s why I was proud to announce my five-point plan to make life more affordable in Maryland during a press conference near the Bay Bridge this week—where I cut tolls for the first time in 50 years.
Instead of empty promises, It provides real solutions to help ALL Marylanders.
For eight years, I fought every single day to make life more affordable and delivered on that mission.
We eliminated 350 fees, cut taxes by $4.7 billion, and cut tolls for the first time in 50 years!
When we cut those tolls, many Maryland politicians scoffed. But I knew that for so many Marylanders who are struggling to get by, any relief can make all the difference in the world.
Now, the economic headwinds hard-working Marylanders face are even more challenging than a decade ago.
We need strong, independent leadership to make life more affordable, and with this plan, that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Let me clear: in the Senate, I am not going to ask or care what side of the aisle an idea came from. I am going to ask a simple question: will it deliver economic relief for hardworking Maryland families?
That’s what I did for eight years as your governor, and it’s exactly the way I’ll continue to lead.
Like you, I am completely fed-up with politics-as-usual in Washington where the politicians—on both sides—seem to be more interested in attacking each other than in actually getting anything done for the people they represent.
I’m willing to stand up and fight for the things that really matter.
With your help we’re going to bring our case for strong, proven, effective, and independent leadership directly to the people of Maryland—all across this state.
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!
