An America United this week announced contributions to pro-law enforcement and tough on violent crime gubernatorial candidates across the country. Governor Hogan has been a national leader on supporting our men and women in law enforcement, enacting a $500 million re-fund the police initiative while the far-left was calling for them to be defunded.

Earlier this week, Governor Hogan held a crime roundtable in Portland, Oregon with Republican gubernatorial nominee Christine Drazan. In recent weeks, Governor Hogan also held law enforcement roundtables to promote An America United’s crime plan in Nebraska and Iowa. On Monday, Governor Hogan wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, “with violent crime rising across America and police recruitment, retention and morale at all-time lows, it’s important that we begin reversing the damage by electing pro-law-enforcement leaders.”

An America United has made contributions to the following candidates:

Oregon Republican gubernatorial nominee Christine Drazan: In 2020, Oregon was one of the centers of the defund the police movement. A former Minority Leader of the Oregon House of Representatives, Christine Drazan has released a Roadmap for Oregon’s future that proposes to “regain the trust and confidence of law enforcement, fully fund state police and increase the number of law enforcement officers with competitive salaries and hiring bonuses.”

Nevada Republican gubernatorial nominee Sheriff Joe Lombardo: After 26 years serving in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Joe Lombardo was elected Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada in 2014, reducing overall crime in Clark County by 16.9% between 2015 and 2021. Sheriff Lombardo “believes fully funding the police is essential to public safety, and he will always support Nevada law enforcement.”

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp: While Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams co-chaired a group that has supported defunding the police, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has been a strong supporter of law enforcement, recently signing seven bills into law all focused on supporting the recruitment of officers and creating tougher punishments for criminals.”

New Mexico Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Ronchetti: New Mexico gubernatorial nominee Mark Ronchetti is running on a platform to fund and support the police, end catch and release, and target dangerous illegal drugs.

In a trip to Oregon this week, Governor Hogan joined Republican Gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan for a roundtable to discuss solutions to combat violent crime, homelessness and promote public safety. Governor Hogan highlighted the similarities in the failures of the one-party control of Oregon, similar to that of Maryland before Governor Hogan took office in 2014.

Here's What They're Saying About The Trip:

Fox News: “Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan is enthusiastic about the GOP’s chances of winning Oregon’s gubernatorial race, predicting relentless crime could drive voters to flip the state red and elect Republican Christine Drazan.

‘Portland is a poster child for far-left policies run amuck,’ Hogan told ‘America’s Newsroom’ hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino Thursday after visiting the city.”

Axios: “As elements of his party feud over the FBI’s search of Trump’s Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, Maryland’s Republican Gov. Larry Hogan is…launch[ing] a new ‘tough on crime’ offensive, Axios has learned.”

NBC Portland: “Republican Christine Drazan made an appearance in Portland yesterday. She was joined by Maryland Republican Governor Larry Hogan, and a lot of the talk focused on violence that has been apart of Portland the past few years, as well as the role of local law enforcement.”

Fox Portland: “Politics in Portland saw national interest on Tuesday…Republican Maryland governor, Larry Hogan, joined GOP Oregon gubernatorial candidate, Christine Drazan at an event just down the street…The moderate Hogan says he is supporting Drazan because he believes she embodies the same values he has when tackling community safety.”

Oregon Capital Chronicle: “In 2014, voters in deeply Democratic Maryland shocked the nation by electing Larry Hogan, only the second Republican to hold that state’s highest office in the past half-century.

Hogan, who visited Oregon this week to campaign for Republican Christine Drazan, believes Drazan can do the same.

‘You can change a state when people get to the point where they’re fed up, and I think that’s where your state is now,’ Hogan said.

Drazan and Hogan joined a group of Oregon business owners, crime victims and people who work with homeless Oregonians to discuss law enforcement and homelessness on Tuesday afternoon. The two issues are top concerns for voters, surveys show. Drazan, the Republican with the best shot at Oregon’s governor’s mansion in decades, is leaning hard on Oregonians’ frustration with homeless camps and rising violent crime rates in her pitch to Oregon voters.”
