Last week, An America United hosted the first-ever Annapolis Leadership Summit, which brought together over 100 public and private sector leaders to discuss how to get America back on the right track. On the same day, An America United also hosted the Governor’s Celebration, where Governor Hogan spoke to approximately 1,700 supporters. An America United released a new video, titled “Underdog,” recapping these two major events promoting common sense leadership. Here's What They're Saying In The News About These Events: - Yahoo News: “Hogan and his wife, Yumi Hogan, Maryland’s first lady, later walked onstage to a band playing an instrumental cover of Sam and Dave’s “Hold on, I’m coming”, as party cannons showered his supporters in confetti. And Hogan regaled his fans with a video touting his underdog wins for governor in staunchly Democratic Maryland and lessons from his father, late Congressman Lawrence Hogan Sr., who broke with his party to support the impeachment of Richard Nixon..”
- CBS News: “Bookending his remarks were highly produced videos by Hogan’s political group, ‘An America United,’ which highlighted the Hogan administration’s purported successes, and his response to the pandemic and the Freddie Gray riots.”
- AP News: “Before the fundraisers, Hogan held a leadership summit in Annapolis, the Maryland capital, to talk about the future of the country. Hogan has been a popular governor in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1. He is only the second Republican governor to ever be reelected in Maryland.”
The Washington Post: “He strode across the ballroom’s massive stage to say thank you to his wife, Yumi, Lt. Gov. Boyd K. Rutherford ® and his cabinet after a highlight reel of his two terms, which offered accolades from his administration, a friend, state Comptroller Peter Franchot (D) and Hogan’s daughter.”

With Maryland widely known as the cyber capital of America, Governor Hogan is continuing to be a national leader on responding to cyber threats. Earlier this week, he issued an emergency directive banning and prohibiting across State Government the use of China and Russia-based products and platforms that pose a threat to US cybersecurity, including TikTok. While the federal government has continued to drag their feet on responding to TikTok and cyber threats, Governor Hogan has now issued the most aggressive action of any governor in America. Last year, Governor 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 Governor also announced more than $200 million in funding to modernize, strengthen, and expand the state’s cyber infrastructure. As Governor Hogan wrote in a joint USA Today op-ed with former NSA Director Admiral Dennis Blair, “For far too long, Washington has been asleep on cybersecurity. America’s vulnerabilities have been exposed and bemoaned, but not seriously addressed, much less fixed…It’s time to wake up.” |
