MARYLAND – In a shocking last-minute announcement, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has stated that he is officially running for the United States Senate. This election will determine who will replace the retiring Ben Cardin.
“It’s official – I’m running for the United States Senate to fight for Maryland and fix the broken politics in Washington,” Hogan stated in a social media post announcing his candidacy.
“Like the vast majority of Marylanders, I’m completely fed up with politics-as-usual and the politicians in Washington who are more interested in arguing than getting anything done for the people they represent.”
Today was the deadline for candidates to officially file for elections. So far, the Senate race has been dominated by Democrats Angela Alsobrooks and David Trone.
Hogan, 67, is well-known for his moderate position and is a big critic of fellow Republican Donald Trump.
“Enough is enough. We can do so much better, but not if we keep electing the same kind of typical partisan politicians,” said Hogan.
“That’s why I’m running – not to serve one party – but to stand up to both parties, fight for Maryland, and fix our nation’s broken politics. It’s what I did as Maryland’s governor, and it’s exactly how I’ll serve Maryland in the United States Senate. Let’s get back to work.”

Mr Hogan was a great mayor. He or anyone is angels compared to Hoyer.
Hogan was Governor, and Hoyer isn’t a senator.
He’s got my vote. There was no better governor in my lifetime.
He’ll teach Republicans some moral aspects to chosen to represent the people .
Republican party needs more people like Hogan
I’m happy where I am I’m happy where I am I’m happy where I am. Its a fair question to ask: why hasn’t Hoyer ever gone after a Senate seat?
