Midday News Maker: Maryland Governor Larry Hogan

Today, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan joins Tom live in Studio A. He is one of only two Republicans elected to our state’s highest office in the last 50 years, and in a poll released last month by Gonzales Media and Research, 71% of MD voters said they approve of the job the Governor is doing. While there is no shortage of Democrats vying for the chance to face the Governor in the general election in November, Mr. Hogan leads all of them in head-to-head match-ups at this early stage in the campaign. Calling for bipartisanship and cooperation in his State of the State Address last month, the Governor points to education funding and accountability, re-districting, and the environment as some of his top priorities. Tom discusses some of those issues during his 30-minute interview with Mr. Hogan. Later, Maryland and government reporter for The Daily Record, Bryan Sears, joins us on the line with the latest from Annapolis and reaction to the Governor's remarks. Audio for this program will be available by 6pm today.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
