Hogan Posts $5M Cash-On-Hand

“Gov. Larry Hogan (R) is en­ter­ing his third year in of­fice with more than $5 mil­lion avail­able for his 2018 reelec­tion cam­paign. … Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd Ruther­ford raised about $4.5 mil­lion in their second year in of­fice, ac­cord­ing to 2016 cam­paign fin­ance dis­clos­ures filed Thursday.

“That’s more than double the $1.7 mil­lion Hogan raised in his first year. Hogan’s pre­de­cessor, Mar­tin O’Mal­ley (D), had a little more than $1.7 mil­lion in the bank two years in­to his first term.” (Wash­ing­ton Post)

Prince George’s County Ex­ec­ut­ive Rush­ern Baker III (D), who is con­sid­er­ing a bid against Hogan, raised $216,000 in the same time and re­por­ted $250,000 on hand in a re­port filed yes­ter­day with the Mary­land Board of Elec­tions. (Hot­line re­port­ing)
