Governor Larry Hogan convened a cybersecurity summit at the Maryland State
House in Annapolis focused on coordinated federal, state, and private sector
efforts to prepare for and address cybersecurity threats.

 

The summit brought together senior government officials, including leaders
from the White House, Congress, the National Security Agency (NSA), and the
FBI, as well as governors, academic leaders, and private sector experts.

 

At the close of the summit, Governor Hogan enacted a range of initiatives to
strengthen Maryland’s cyber ecosystem and protect the state’s critical
infrastructure, including a new partnership with the NSA, a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to
establish a new Maryland Institute for Innovative Computing, and a statewide
privacy framework to govern the way the state secures citizens’ personal
information.

 

Earlier this year, Governor Hogan wrote a USA Today op-ed
<[link removed]>
 urging Washington to “wake up” and take specific actions to address cyber
threats.

 

The cybersecurity summit builds on the successful Annapolis Infrastructure
Summit held in April that included governors, U.S. senators, and leaders of the
U.S. House Problem Solvers Caucus and ultimately helped produce the bipartisan
infrastructure bill currently being debated in Congress.

 

Although neither initial infrastructure proposal from President Biden or
Senate Republicans even mentioned “cybersecurity” or “hacking,” Governor
Hogan’s infrastructure proposal as chair of the National Governors Association
recommended that protecting America’s infrastructure be one of the key four
pillars for any federal infrastructure bill. The current bipartisan proposal
will allocate grants to state and local governments to strengthen
cybersecurity. According to Governor Hogan, “in the 21st century, America’s
infrastructure is only as strong as it’s protected from cyber threats.”

As the cyber capital of America, Maryland has been working to build the next
generation of cyber warriors to meet the rapidly increasing demand for cyber
skills. Tackling these cyber threats is going to take a holistic approach and
bold solutions. That’s why earlier today I convened a cybersecurity summit with
national leaders and experts in the cybersecurity field to have an open and
productive discussion on our goals and initiatives for the American people.

Governor Hogan Comments on Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal >>>
<[link removed]>
    <[link removed]>


According to a new poll in 33 key swing congressional districts, 72 percent of
voters support
<[link removed]>
 the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was forged
<[link removed]>
 at Governor Hogan’s infrastructure Annapolis summit.

 

Meanwhile, only 24 percent of voters want this bill to be linked to the
Democrats’ partisan $3.5 trillion budget blueprint. Governor Hogan has
continued to call out
<[link removed]>
 Democratic leaders for linking the bipartisan infrastructure bill to a
partisan spending package.

 

This comes as the leaders of the National Governors Association are urging
<[link removed]>
 Congress to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The statement calls on
negotiators to consider the infrastructure proposal released by Governor Hogan
when he serves as chairman of the National Governors Association.



Governor Hogan is speaking out against President Biden’s turn to the left and
warning of the dangers of “whitewashing” the January 6th riots, calling for
members of

Congress to stop politicizing the attack.

 

Immediately following President Biden’s election, Governor Hogan wrote
<[link removed]->
 a Wall Street Journal op-ed advising Biden that “If he is going to heal and
unify the nation, he must start by recognizing that this goal is in conflict
with the Democratic Party’s lurch leftward.” As President Biden has governed to
the left, Governor Hogan has attempted to support a centrist push in Congress, 
convening
<[link removed]>
 an infrastructure summit that helped produce bipartisan infrastructure
negotiations.

 

Here’s what they’re saying about Governor Hogan’s advocacy:

 

CBS reported
<[link removed]>
 Governor Hogan’s argued progressive leaders “are having too much influence on
[President Biden], which is not going to be good for him or the country.”

 

Fox News reported
<[link removed]>
 Governor Hogan is “supportive” of “Republican governors like Ohio Gov. Mike
DeWine and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp who did not go along with the former
president’s false claims that the presidential election was stolen.”

 

Newsweek wrote
<[link removed]>
 Governor Hogan “called out GOP lawmakers who have defended and downplayed the
violent actions of the former president’s supporters.”

 

The Hill reported
<[link removed]>
 Governor Hogan “doesn’t want either side politicizing the attack” on the
Capitol.

This major step forward is only possible because of the hard work and
political courage of the bipartisan group that gathered at our infrastructure
summit in April.

After decades of inaction on our crumbling infrastructure, let’s finally get
this done.[link removed] <[link removed]>

Gerrymandering is wrong no matter who does it. I’ve unilaterally relinquished
my power to draw redistricting maps to a non-partisan citizen commission. Yet,
our legislature has ‘repeatedly rejected’ our efforts to make the redistricting
process fair and non-partisan.pic.twitter.com/k8S9TORYpp
