Democrats are used to running away with elections in Maryland. Statewide campaigns are usually locked up by the summer and they don’t have to spend the resources to win competitive races.
But things are different this time around.
They know what Gov. Hogan accomplished for Maryland as governor.
They see the momentum his campaign has because of people like YOU who are stepping up.
They know he’s not your typical Republican—he won’t bow down to either party. He’s willing to work with anyone who will do what’s best for our state and our country.
And this has terrified his opponents into pouring money into ad buys early in the election cycle.
John, we have the message.
We have the momentum.
But we don’t have much time.
Every day is a critical opportunity to raise more resources so we can fend off attacks coming from every direction, get Gov. Hogan’s message out across the state, and reach every voter possible.
Without grassroots support, going up against a candidate backed by the Democratic machine will be impossible.
This news is just the tip of the iceberg. We know that she will spend millions more, and we know that now is the most critical time to build up resources so we can take her on.
We cannot sit by and do nothing while Gov. Hogan’s opponent dumps money into her race.
We must replenish our Rapid Response Fund now. Can you help?
We’re asking for your help to send immediate reinforcements to Gov. Hogan’s race. He is the financial underdog, and we need every dollar we can get to go up against his opponent and Democratic machine backing her.
As a Republican in Maryland, Gov. Hogan is already fighting an uphill battle. But with the latest news, the odds just got worse.
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!
