This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Watergate scandal–something I know well.
That’s because my dad, Maryland Congressman Larry Hogan Sr. was the first Republican to come out for the impeachment of President Nixon. Tonight, I’lll reflect on my father’s principled leadership during the Watergate investigation.
I will discuss how my father put aside party politics and his own personal considerations and stepped up to do the right thing for Maryland and the nation.
And I will discuss my vision for addressing the challenges facing our country today with strong, independent leadership–the same type my father demonstrated 50 years ago.
Anything you can give will help my campaign reach more Marylanders with my message.
Thank you,
Team 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!
