Maryland Democratic Party Statement On MAGA Dan Cox Entering The Gubernatorial Race

ANNAPOLIS, MD – Maryland Democratic Party Chair Steuart Pittman released the following statement after the announcement of another soon-to-be failed gubernatorial campaign by Trump crony Dan Cox:

Trump’s got his man now. Dan Cox’s entry into the Maryland Governor’s race, and his likely nomination by the Republican Party, creates a historic opportunity for Maryland Democrats to expand our base of support everywhere.

Cox demonstrated his blind allegiance to Donald Trump when he bussed insurrectionists to Washington on January 6, 2021. He will serve as a reminder to Marylanders what Donald Trump has done for us: his economic assault on farmers, blue collar workers, small businesses, and public servants; his disdain for the rule of law; his disrespect for our veterans; and his lack of fiscal discipline. 

The contrast with Governor Wes Moore’s record of protecting Marylanders, growing our economy, and leaving no one behind will be stark.

The Maryland Democratic Party will take advantage of this contrast to bring new voters into our party, to contest every seat with strong candidates everywhere, and to build the infrastructure of the party from the bottom up. Alongside Governor Moore, we will work day and night to make sure they don’t bring MAGA to Maryland.
