[Baltimore Sun] Could Hogan help moderate the next president? | READER COMMENTARY

Read Time:1 Minute, 33 Second

There have been many partisan articles and letters to the editor in The Baltimore Sun, as well as a barrage of television ads targeted at Maryland voters telling them what they should consider in evaluating Larry Hogan and Angela Alsobrooks (“Pro-Hogan super PAC is buying huge chunks of airtime in Senate race, outspending Alsobrooks’ counterparts,” Oct. 3).

I haven’t seen one that focuses on the interests of the moderate voter, no matter who wins the presidency.

American voters are being faced with a choice for president between an erratic man-child and a woman who presented herself to the American public four years ago with leftist policies that she has completely rejected today and the American people rejected back then.

Voters have a lot of information to evaluate former President Donald Trump’s drawbacks versus accomplishments (there are some). A serious voter can decide for themselves how to see through political talking points about him. Voters have very little information about Vice President Kamala Harris and her transparent political strategy is to keep it that way.

I could whine about the lack of respect the Harris strategy shows toward my right as a voter to know where she stands on energy, climate, foreign affairs, immigration, education, mental health, etc. Or I can take the one action I have control over as a Maryland voter. I can vote for the U.S. Senate candidate who will vote against the worst and most extreme tendencies of a Trump or a Harris presidency. We have evidence from how he governed that not only will Hogan do that, but that he will also act in concert with serious colleagues from both parties who are more interested in governing than grandstanding.
