Hogan: Protecting Maryland from Trump’s
Harmful Agenda Not My ‘Focus’
New territory: Hoganâs reluctance to protect Maryland from Trump agenda
Â
Annapolis, Md. â Earlier today, General Assembly Democrats proposed a legislative package in preparation to protect Maryland families from the harmful effects of Donald Trumpâs agenda.
Â
Governor Hoganâs response? Not his “focus” for Maryland.
Â
This is the same Trump agenda that is already hurting hardworking Maryland families – whether it’s âtearing families apart,â eroding civil liberties or threatening the health care of over 400,000 Marylanders.
Â
What is clear is that Hoganâs refusal to protect Maryland from Trump is new territory that is already drawing backlash and raising questions.
Â
The following statement was released by the Maryland Democratic Partyâs communications director, Jazzmen Knoderer:
Â
âWhile Democrats prepare to fight the harmful impact of Trumpâs agenda here in Maryland, Governor Larry Hogan doesnât feel like it should be his âfocus.â
Â
âIt should alarm Marylanders that Governor Hogan doesnât think that protecting their health care, civil liberties, or even defending families, is a priority.
Â
âWhat Governor Hogan makes clear is that hardworking Maryland families canât trust him to stand up to Trumpâs harmful agenda.â
