Last night, Gov. Hogan attended the Olney National Night Out in Montgomery County and Crofton National Night Out in Anne Arundel County.
He met with local officers and families and celebrated the critical role first responders play in our communities.
Each year, thousands of communities across the country turn out to honor the brave men and women of law enforcement while promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.
Gov. Hogan knows that we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who protect our communities every day.
Maryland’s law enforcement will always be able to count on his unwavering support.
He was proud to back the blue as governor, and it’s exactly what I’ll continue to do in the Senate.
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!
