Former Republican Governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan, has recently released a series of new campaign ads highlighting his stance on various issues. The ads emphasize Hogan's early criticism of Donald Trump and his unwavering commitment to defending democracy, notably demonstrated by his decision to send in the Maryland National Guard to protect the Capitol on January 6th.
One of the ads addresses false attacks labeling Hogan as anti-women, citing his track record of supporting reproductive rights, including providing birth control at no cost and advocating for choice by restoring Roe v. Wade in every state. The ad features Hogan's daughters, who had previously appeared in similar ads in 2014 and 2018.
Despite the ads potentially resonating with Democratic messaging, Hogan maintains that his positions have remained consistent over the past decade. He points out that he was elected as a Republican governor in Maryland, a predominantly blue state, and successfully secured reelection, underscoring his steadfastness in his beliefs.
Hogan expresses disappointment at the false attacks targeting him, particularly on critical issues like reproductive rights. He asserts that his actions, such as deploying state resources to safeguard the Capitol, align with his long-standing principles and outspoken criticism of Donald Trump since the former president's entry into politics.
Reflecting on his tenure as governor, Hogan emphasizes the importance of defending his record against misleading accusations and reaffirms his commitment to upholding democratic values. Despite facing ongoing challenges, Hogan remains resolute in his dedication to public service and standing by his convictions.
