Former Maryland Democratic Party Chairman Backs Governor Larry Hogan For Re-Election

Republican Governor Larry Hogan continues to receive unprecedent support from Democrats and Democrat-leaning groups in his bid to win re-election in Maryland.

Yesterday, that list grew even longer, with Nathan Landow, a former Chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party, voicing his support for Hogan in an op-ed in the Baltimore Sun. Landow calls on his fellow Democrats “to put the people of Maryland first…and support Governor Hogan for re-election.”

Nathan Landow writes,

As the former chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and a longtime observer of Maryland politics, I’ve seen firsthand the difference it makes to have a leader, like Gov. Larry Hogan, who is devoted to bipartisanship, the results of which are clearly being shown with his leadership. It’s why I’ve crossed party lines to support him and help to ensure his success.

… I believe the bipartisan example Governor Hogan has set in Maryland presents a positive path forward not just in our state, but our country as well.

Governor Hogan’s record of working together with Republicans and Democrats has ensured record funding for education each of these last four years. He designed bipartisan compromise legislation that increased school safety funding, while requiring each school to be responsible for its school safety plan.

… Governor Hogan’s example of leadership shows what a government led by someone who places great value on bipartisanship looks like. That’s why, as a former chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party, I crossed the aisle to support Governor Hogan, and for me that was a big deal. And it’s why I’m calling on all my fellow Maryland Democrats to put the people of Maryland first, not their party, and support Governor Hogan for re-election.
