This news has lit a fire under my opponent and her national allies.
They never expected to have to work so hard in Maryland this year.
Now, they are trying everything they can to bring down my campaign–and they’ve resorted to the lowest, most negative form of politics as a result.
If you turn on the TV, odds are you know what I’m talking about.
They plaster the airwaves with lies and negative attacks, and expect Marylanders to buy it!
But you know I will never bow down to extremists in either party. And you know that I am in this race to solve the biggest problems we all face, not add to them.
With time running out, your immediate support WILL make a difference.
Please consider chipping in today. We are in danger of falling critically behind my opponent, and if we do, it will be a monumental task to win on 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!
