New reporting exposes then-Governor Hogan’s repeated attempts to block efforts to hold the Trump Administration accountable
Maryland leaders are blasting Republican Larry Hogan following new reporting that shows Hogan’s campaign rhetoric doesn’t match his real record of putting the Republican Party before Marylanders. As reported by the Baltimore Banner, then-Governor Hogan repeatedly tried to stop Maryland’s Attorney General from taking legal action to hold Donald Trump accountable for trying to restrict access to abortion and contraception, rip away health care for hundreds of thousands of Marylanders, reduce food assistance for working families, and more.
READ THEIR RESPONSES FOR YOURSELF:
“Marylanders can tell the truth from fiction. We need a senator who actually will defend our democracy,” said Senator Ben Cardin. “The path to the Senate majority runs through Maryland. We know that only Angela Alsobrooks will safeguard our freedoms while keeping the Senate in Democratic hands. I’m proud to support her campaign.”
“Larry Hogan is trying to rewrite history — but when the Trump Administration sought to restrict access to contraception, Hogan didn’t stand up to protect those rights for Marylanders. What’s more, Marylanders know what’s at stake here: a vote for Larry Hogan is a vote to turn over the keys of the Senate to the MAGA majority, including the likes of Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, and Josh Hawley. That’s why Mitch McConnell recruited him and why Donald Trump endorsed him. The stakes are too high and Marylanders are looking forward, not backward — I am confident they will support Angela, who will always stand up for their rights,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen.
“Marylanders deserve a senator in Washington who will fight for our values,” said Maryland Governor Wes Moore. “Marylanders deserve a Senate Majority that is in line with our values. The current Republican Party does not represent our values. And the Old Governor will empower a Republican majority that will take us backwards. Angela Alsobrooks is the leader we need at this time to take our state and our country into the future, the leader we need at this time to defend our freedoms, and the leader we need at this time to fight for our families.”
“Larry Hogan’s record speaks for itself,” said Maryland Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller. “As governor, he consistently aligned with the Republican Party, blocking efforts to protect Maryland from harmful Trump-era policies. In the Senate, Hogan would continue to prioritize party loyalty over Marylanders, potentially giving Republicans the majority to advance extreme agendas, including a nationwide abortion ban.”
“Larry Hogan will vote with Republicans to determine the next Senate majority leader. He’ll vote with them to confirm new extreme Supreme Court justices, to instate a national abortion ban, and to defund organizations like Planned Parenthood,” said Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates Adrienne Jones. “Despite the rhetoric he uses in his ads, I know Larry Hogan, and we can’t trust him on these issues.”
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown: “Larry Hogan did Donald Trump’s dirty work as Governor, blocking then Attorney General Brian Frosh from suing the Trump Administration. There’s no reason to believe he will do any different as Senator. We need to elect @AlsobrooksForMD this November.”
Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman: “Just a reminder- Larry Hogan did Trump’s dirty work as Gov, blocking Attorney General Frosh from suing the Trump Administration. There’s no reason to believe his tenure as Senator will be any different. We must elect @AlsobrooksForMD this November.”
Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman: “As Governor, Hogan blocked Attorney General Brian Frosh from suing the Trump Administration. He put Trump’s wishes over the wellbeing of Marylanders, and there’s no reason to believe he’d do any different as Senator. We need to elect @AlsobrooksForMD”
Maryland House Majority Whip Jazz Lewis: “In his role, the Trump-endorsed former governor stood in the way of Maryland taking action against the radical MAGA agenda. He put Trump’s agenda before Marylanders, and as a senator, he would do the same.”
State Senator Sara Love: “Thank you @BrianFrosh. The former governor’s words do not match his actions. I urge all voters to look at his actions.”
Delegate Nicole Williams: “First, Larry Hogan blocked then-Attorney General Brian Frosh from suing the Trump Administration. Then, Hogan received Trump’s endorsement while running for Senate. We know where Hogan stands, and it’s not with Marylanders.”
