Candidate for the United States Senate to fight for Maryland and to fix our nation’s broken politics. 62nd Governor of Maryland. Husband, Dad, and Granddad.
Like you, I’m completely fed up with the toxic politics in Washington. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to get stuff done.
☑️ Secure the border
☑️ Support our police
☑️ Rein in reckless spending
📺 Watch our latest TV ad:
If you had done your job, America's governors wouldn't have been forced to fend for themselves to find tests in the middle of a pandemic, as we successfully did in Maryland.
Stop golfing and concede.
Report: Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Anti-Trump Hero, Paid for Flawed Coronavirus Tests from South Korea via
@BreitbartNews
. This RINO will never make the grade. Hogan is just as bad as the flawed tests he paid big money for!
I’m grateful to President Trump for sending us a list of federal labs and generously offering Maryland use of them for
#COVID19
testing. Accessing these federal labs will be critical for utilizing the 500,000 tests we have acquired from South Korea.
A short while ago, I spoke to Wes Moore and congratulated him on being elected as Maryland’s next governor. There is no higher calling than public service, and no greater honor than to serve the people of this great state.
I will always be proud of my father for putting our country before party and his own career as the first Republican to support impeaching President Nixon. Shortly after his stand, the president resigned.
Tonight, I am proud of
@RepLizCheney
,
@RepKinzinger
, and
@RepJohnKatko
.
The American people—not the politicians—elect the president. The scheme by members of Congress to reject the certification of the presidential election makes a mockery of our system and who we are as Americans.
My full statement:
Until this policy of separating children from their families has been rescinded, Maryland will not deploy any National Guard resources to the border. Earlier this morning, I ordered our 4 crewmembers & helicopter to immediately return from where they were stationed in New Mexico.
Washington has failed again & again to deliver needed immigration reform - Congress and the administration must step up and work together to fix our broken system. Immigration enforcement efforts should focus on criminals, not separating innocent children from their families.
This morning, I informed
@Harvard
that I must withdraw my offer to participate in fellowships this Fall. I cannot condone the dangerous anti-Semitism that has taken root on their campus.
Congratulations to President-elect Biden. Everyone should want our president to succeed because we need our country to succeed. We have great challenges ahead of us as a country. Now more than ever, we need to come together as Americans.
Our family greatly appreciates the president's comments condemning the awful rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans. It truly is "un-American and it must stop."
I want to thank President-elect
@JoeBiden
, Vice President-elect
@KamalaHarris
, leaders of the president-elect’s COVID-19 advisory board, and fellow members of the
@NatlGovsAssoc
Executive Committee for taking time today to discuss the ongoing fight against COVID-19.
Today, I am announcing Maryland’s commitment to receive more Afghan interpreters who have contributed to U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. Many of these Afghan citizens—our allies—bravely risked their lives to support our efforts, and we have a moral obligation to help them.
I was very pleased to welcome Governor-Elect
@iamwesmoore
to the State House. We had a really productive one-on-one conversation. Our administration is going to do everything we possibly can to ensure a smooth transition of power.
Roy Moore’s defenders should ask themselves if they would be so quick to excuse him if the victim was their daughter or if the offender was a Democrat. He is unfit for office and should step aside. Americans are better than this.
Five years ago today, I was diagnosed with a very advanced, very aggressive cancer that had rapidly spread throughout my body. Today, I had my final, five-year anniversary PET scan at UMMS, which confirmed that I am still 100 percent cancer free!
At my direction, the
@MDSP
is sending in troopers to assist the Metropolitan Police Department and the United States Capitol Police. I have instructed the Adjutant General of the
@MDNG
to call up a rapid response force to support law enforcement and restore order.
I am declaring December 23 a state holiday so that our hard-working employees can spend more time enjoying the holidays with their loved ones and as another way we can show our appreciation to our dedicated state workers who have helped us change Maryland for the better.
There's a lot that can be said about Trump's CNN Town Hall.
What can't be said is that a person who calls January 6th a "beautiful day" and refuses to say he sides with Ukraine against Russian aggression has any business leading our party or back in the White House.
On Saturday, First Lady Yumi Hogan and I stood on the tarmac at
@BWI_Airport
to welcome the first ever Korean Air passenger plane, carrying a very important payload of LabGun
#COVID19
test kits which will give MD the capability of performing half a million coronavirus tests.
Kim Jong Un is an enemy of America who threatens peace and freedom. The fact that Trump delusionally believes otherwise makes him a useful idiot for China and unfit to be president.
All Americans should be outraged by this attack on our nation’s Capitol. This is a heinous and violent assault on the heart of our democracy. I will not stand for this, and neither should any American.
Today is a sad day. Matt Gaetz is a disgrace and has done more damage to the Republican Party with his actions today than any Democrat ever could. This just proves that Washington is hopelessly divided and broken, and it's why people are so frustrated with Congress and both…
There has not been a single day—good or bad—when I was not grateful for the privilege to serve as your governor.
Serving you has been the honor of a lifetime. Thank you, Maryland!
Washington’s failure to pass relief is already harming our nation's health and economic recovery. The American people can't afford to wait until after the election. There is no shortage of bipartisan and common-sense proposals. Put aside the politics and get this done.
I never thought I’d see a day like this in America. I am not going to stand for this, and neither should any American.
In addition to sending in 200
@MDSP
troopers, after speaking to the Secretary of the Army, I am mobilizing 500
@MDNG
members to help restore law and order.
16 years ago, I married my beautiful wife Yumi and gained three daughters: Julie, Kim, and Jaymi. These four incredible women became the best part of my life, and I don’t know where I’d be without their love and support.
I have long said that I care more about ensuring a future for the Republican Party than securing my own future in the Republican Party. That is why I will not be seeking the Republican nomination for president.
My full statement on the 2024 Presidential race.
Every American has the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty, but l stand behind what I said on January 7th - the day after we sent the Maryland National Guard to secure the Capitol.
President Trump abandoned his oath to the Constitution and is unfit for office.
Yesterday, Baltimore set an example for our nation. Thousands of young people and community leaders expressed their frustrations peacefully, while working with police to stand up to a handful of extremists with a violent agenda. This is how real, positive change happens.
It was a pleasure to welcome Maryland’s next governor and first lady to Government House this afternoon to show them around what will soon be their new home.
For the kids out there who may have been concerned, I have some reassuring news: Today I officially proclaimed the Easter Bunny an essential worker in Maryland. He therefore will be able to proceed with his hopping across the state, delivering Easter baskets to Maryland children.
I am running for the United States Senate – 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 Senate. Let’s get back to work.
Marylanders should feel confident in knowing that we have done everything in our power, gone to every length, and used every tool and every resource at our disposal to defeat this deadly virus.
To be clear, my position on Trump hasn't changed. Trump won't commit to supporting the Republican nominee, and I won't commit to supporting him. As I have repeatedly said, I fully expect to support the Republican nominee — who I don't believe will be Trump.
Our team is committed to ensuring a smooth and orderly transition to the next administration, and I look forward to meeting with the governor-elect in the coming days.

Committed to the health of every Californian. Practicing our duty as Americans to take care of one another. I know other states would do the same.
This afternoon, I joined a call with
@MayorBowser
and
@GovernorVA
to discuss the upcoming 59th Presidential Inauguration. We are taking the extraordinary step of encouraging Americans not to come to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration, and to instead participate virtually.
We must take a clear stand in the face of genocidal acts against the Jewish people or any group. There is no “both sides” when it comes to the murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent women and children.
I remember when President Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union the evil empire. Not much has changed. Putin is a thug & his actions against our democracy are despicable. On this I agree with our intelligence community. President Trump failed to stand up for our country yesterday
This morning, as part of my regular testing routine, I received a positive rapid test for COVID-19. I have been vaccinated and boosted, and I am feeling fine at the moment.
The First Lady and I are praying for Paul Pelosi’s recovery after the vicious assault on his life. There is absolutely no place for violence in our politics. Anyone who calls themselves a leader must show zero tolerance for it.
I want to once again thank the countless essential personnel who are on the front lines every day, working around the clock, and doing their best to keep Marylanders safe. We are all in this together, and we will get through this together.
#MarylandUnites
I have issued a proclamation recognizing Juneteenth in Maryland to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and celebrate the triumph of the human spirit over the cruelty of slavery.
We should not be playing partisan games with the Supreme Court. It would be a mistake for the Senate to ram through a nominee on a partisan line vote, just as it would be a tragic mistake to question the integrity of the court or even pack the court.
We are proud to hang these Thin Blue Line flags in Government House to honor our brave law enforcement officers. A local elected official prohibiting police from displaying a flag given to them by a grateful child is disgraceful.
Absolutely heartbroken by the passing of Mo Gaba, a bright light who brought joy to all who knew him and hope to everyone who heard his story. Our prayers go out to his family and loved ones.
#MoStrong
We must move on from Donald Trump. There are several competent Republican leaders who have the potential to step up and lead. But the stakes are too high for me to risk being part of another multicar pileup that could potentially help Trump recapture the nomination.
A Charles County man has been arrested after repeatedly violating the executive order banning large gatherings and hosting a bonfire party with 60 guests. I cannot begin to express my disgust towards such irresponsible, reckless behavior.
In light of a recent Supreme Court ruling and to ensure compliance with the Constitution, I am directing the Maryland State Police to suspend utilization of the ‘good and substantial reason’ standard when reviewing applications for Wear and Carry Permits.
My full statement:
I have issued an amended emergency order ensuring that local schools and school systems retain the primary authority to determine when to safely reopen their facilities. My full statement:
Our youngest baby granddaughter Gemma on her first flight, on the way to visit us at Government House for her very first Christmas. We are all pretty excited!
The best way we can continue to flatten the curve is to stay home and stay safe. Thanks to

It took nearly 3 weeks for the National Capital Region to go from 0 to 1,000 cases of COVID-19. It took 3 days for the region to go from 1,000 to 2,000 cases in DC, MD, and VA. This is a rapidly evolving and escalating emergency which is now surrounding the nation’s capital.
I ask Marylanders to join me in supporting

I am disgusted by the vile remarks about removing the public memorial saluting Baltimore’s fallen police officers, which was funded and championed by their family members. My full statement:
Today I announced the launch of a multi-pronged, first-in-the-nation workforce development initiative to formally eliminate the four-year college degree requirement from thousands of state jobs.
Details:
It's official - I'm running for the United States Senate to fight for Maryland and fix the broken politics in Washington.
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…
I have enacted an executive order which institutes a Stay at Home directive. No Marylander should be leaving their home unless it is for an essential job or for an essential reason, such as obtaining food or medicine or seeking urgent medical attention:
I have ordered the Maryland flag lowered in honor of the more than 1,000 Marylanders who have lost their lives to
#COVID19
. Flags will remain lowered through the weekend in honor of our fallen heroes and frontline healthcare workers. My full statement:
I’m a lifelong small businessman, and nothing matters to me more than getting our economy back on track. As I said tonight on
@FoxNews
, we need to see Maryland’s
#COVID19
numbers plateau and decline so we can begin our recovery in a safe, gradual way.
I am honored to proclaim tomorrow, November 22, as the first Kimchi Day in state history to recognize the importance of this popular Korean dish, and to further celebrate our incredible Korean-American community and its many contributions to our state.
In Maryland, our goal was to get 70% of adults vaccinated by Memorial Day, and that’s exactly what we've done. Thank you to all of our vaccinators, and to the millions of Marylanders who have stepped up to get the vaccine.
If we all do our part to rise to this challenge and to meet this moment, we will get through this together.

This pandemic is one of the most daunting challenges our state has ever faced, but sometimes the worst times have a way of bringing out the very best in Marylanders. We have seen so many examples of compassion and generosity in recent days.
#MarylandUnites
I have proclaimed a statewide moment of prayer and reflection at noon on Sunday, April 5, so that Marylanders can join together in honor of those we have lost, those who are sick, and the doctors, nurses, clinicians, health care workers, and first responders on the front lines.
Today at 11 a.m., I will announce additional measures to slow the spread of
#COVID19
in Maryland. This announcement will be streamed live here on Twitter, as well as on Facebook (
@GovLarryHogan
) and Youtube (Governor Larry Hogan).
I’d like to thank
@RepRaskin
for his comments during today's House Judiciary Committee hearing about my family's experiences with discrimination and violence against Asian Americans. We must unequivocally condemn racism, xenophobia, and hatred in all its forms.
Today we are proud to report that sports fans can finally plan for the official launch of mobile sports betting in the State of Maryland.

The daughter and grandson of former Maryland Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Maeve and Gideon McKean, have now both been found. Please continue to keep their family in your prayers as they mourn this devastating loss.
While Washington is completely broken and heading in the wrong direction, we’ve shown how to win and deliver common sense conservative results in the most difficult possible environment. That’s why I am giving serious consideration to running for president.
As chairman of the

to urge federal leaders to provide immediate fiscal relief for the states.
Our full statement:
Each part of this international collaboration was unprecedented, and required an amazing team effort. I want to sincerely thank our South Korean partners for assisting us in our fight against this common, hidden enemy.
Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but Trump said it best in 2016: “Extreme carelessness with classified material” and “a cover-up that includes false statements and lies” is “totally disqualifying” for the presidency.
Five years ago today, after undergoing intensive chemotherapy, three surgeries, four spinal taps, and countless scans, I held a press conference to inform the people of Maryland that I was finally in remission from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and 100% cancer free.
On our final full day in office, I am incredibly humbled that every single demographic in our state overwhelmingly approve of the job we've done changing Maryland for the better.
We're incredibly proud to see

testing. We are ready to move forward with this important federal-state collaboration.
Today I am declaring Thursday, December 24, 2020 a state holiday in observance of Christmas Eve. In a year that has been challenging for so many, this will give our dedicated employees more time to spend with their families.
