That’s because while every ounce of good news fuels our campaign, it also sets a fire under our opponent’s campaign and activates their base to push even harder.
And, with less than 100 days until Election Day, we cannot let this good news distract us. We’ve got to stay focused, hunker down, and keep our eyes on why we’re in this.
We’re all sick and tired of the same old partisanship and division in Washington. Marylanders know that I don’t put up with that nonsense.
Just like I did as governor, I will get to work and get things done for the people I serve. I’m not in this race for a fancy title. I’m in this race to get results.
Grassroots support from people like you is the only reason we’ve been able to pull ahead in this race, and it’ll be the only way to stay competitive until Election Day.
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!
