[Baltimore Sun] Hogan would make a great senator regardless of his party | READER COMMENTARY
Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
I am disappointed that you published a commentary by Marc Springer, an attorney in Massachusetts, telling the voters of Maryland not to vote for former Gov. Larry Hogan (“Remember, Trump wants you to vote for Hogan in November,” Sept. 23). The only reason he could give was that Hogan is a Republican.
Larry Hogan is a very independent Republican. His vote in the U.S. Senate will represent the people of Maryland and not how his party leaders want him to vote. The reason that former state Sen. Bobby Zirkin so strongly supports him is he realizes that he was a great governor and will be a great senator. Hogan’s opponent, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, will vote how the Democratic leadership and her mentor, U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen tells her.
It is interesting that the front page of the same issue of The Baltimore Sun, there is an article describing how Alsobrooks received undue property tax breaks (“Angela Alsobrooks says she didn’t know she was saving thousands from improper property tax breaks,” Sept. 22). She did not pay her fair share for many years. I urge the people of Maryland vote for the person and not the party. It is very clear to me that Hogan is the better candidate, and he will be a thoughtful, independent voice of reason in the Senate.
