Reaching every goal we set is critical, but with this being our last FEC deadline before this race is decided, it’s more important than ever for our campaign.
As you know, all eyes are on this race.
For the first time in nearly half a century, Maryland has a real shot at electing a Republican to the U.S. Senate.
That’s why the DNC is pouring an additional $75,000 of last-minute funds into Maryland to try and prop up my opponent on top of the $250,000 they've already spent.
It’s why every single dollar we raise before TOMORROW’S midnight FEC deadline will be key to funding the final stretch of my campaign.
And, it’s why once we close the books on the quarter and file our report, everyone from the Democratic National Committee on down will be combing through our report to see how much momentum we truly have at this critical point in the race.
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!
