In the wake of the Republican upset in Virginia and near upset in New Jersey, Politico is reporting today that Republican leaders are redoubling their efforts to recruit three sitting GOP Governors to challenge Democratic Senators in their states in 2022. One of those Governors is Larry Hogan here in Maryland who is being urged by Senator Mitch McConnell to run against Chris for this Maryland Senate seat to try to regain Republican control of the Senate.

Tuesday's election results have emboldened Republicans — and we must be ready to respond.

In a 50-50 Senate Republicans just need to win one more seat. And they think Hogan gives them their best shot to pick up a GOP seat in Maryland. This would be a disastrous outcome for both our state and country — and a game changer for McConnell's crusade to flip the Senate and come back as Senate Majority Leader.

If Hogan gets into this race, he’s likely to have access to nearly unlimited money from McConnell's PACs and special interests desperate to replace Chris with someone who will do their bidding instead of fighting for working people in Maryland. Can you pitch in now to help us tell Mitch to 'STAY OUT OF MARYLAND' and make sure we are ready to defend this Senate seat and fight back?

Hogan is co-chairman of a group that’s been pouring resources into lobbying to weaken or outright kill President Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

This group opposes 'radical' ideas like lowering prescription drug prices for everyday Americans, expanding access to health care, child and elder care, and more. Big-money individuals and corporations are already funding ad campaigns against these pieces of the Build Back Better plan — and they would be thrilled to finance a candidate here in Maryland that would do their work for them; instead of fighting tooth and nail to get these critical measures passed.

Please pitch in what you can now to make sure Chris is ready to take on whatever McConnell throws at him!

Thank you for being part of this important fight.

As Chris says — "Onwards,"
