Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is launching two new campaign ads Thursday, pushing back on attacks on the Republican Senate candidate’s reproductive rights stance and featuring his three daughters and four granddaughters. “When Larry Hogan married my mom, he became a father to three strong, independent women, and he gained our trust. He became our dad. Now, once again, they’re attacking him as anti-women,” Hogan’s daughter, Jaymi Sterling, said in a new ad titled “Trust.
’s List, which backs Democratic women who support abortion rights, announced that it was pouring $2.2 million into the race on Thursday, with attack ads hitting the airwaves targeting Hogan’s stance on abortion. Democrats are leaning on abortion rights to help overcome Hogan’s personal popularity in the Senate race in deep-blue Maryland, which is not usually competitive.
’s List’s super PAC, Women Vote!, highlighted his veto of the legislation in a recent ad. Hogan, a former two-term governor, will face off against Democratic Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks this fall in the election for Maryland’s Senate seat. A new poll from Gonzales Research conducted Aug. 24-30 shows Alsobrooks slightly ahead of Hogan but within the margin of error, with 46% of registered voters supporting Alsbrooks, versus 41% support for Hogan; 11% are undecided.
’s List’s communications director Yari Aquino told NBC News. Democrats have made abortion central to their messaging since the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. In turn, GOP ads have featured more wives and other female family members defending the candidates. Montana GOP Senate nominee Tim Sheehy released an ad in July spotlighting his wife, Carmen Sheehy, and sharing the story of how they met.
