It’s not too late for Governor Hogan to revisit this misguided decision, follow CDC advice, and empower Marylanders to cast their ballots in a way that does not jeopardize public health or overextend local boards of elections.
Opposition to Hogan’s plan has grown steadily louder since the Republican governor called for the November election to be held primarily in person, with all voting precincts open as well as early voting locations.

Governor Hogan and I don’t always agree, but we do agree on this: With COVID-19 cases climbing, Congress must provide states, local jurisdictions, and communities with additional stimulus to support struggling families and businesses in Baltimore County and across the country.
With the election behind us, much-needed additional stimulus relief is more urgent and achievable than ever. Today I wrote to Maryland’s congressional delegation urging them to prioritize a new stimulus relief bill in the lame duck session.
