Larry Hogan Can’t Escape Project 2025 Connections
Ahead of tonight’s Maryland Senate debate, Larry Hogan’s close ties to Project 2025 are coming under significant scrutiny. His associations with Project 2025 are thorough, intricate, and show just how little daylight there is between Hogan and a dangerous MAGA agenda that could become a reality with a Republican Senate majority. Already Hogan has faced scrutiny for vetoing legislation to expand abortion access, championing Trump’s Supreme Court justices who repealed Roe v. Wade, and for receiving Trump’s resounding endorsement. All of this demonstrates that Hogan is unfit to represent Maryland in the U.S. Senate.
See Hogan’s connections to Project 2025 below:
- In 2017, Hogan appointed Robert Moffit to lead Maryland’s state health care commission before he went on to lead the Health and Welfare Policy section of the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025’s primary sponsor. In this capacity Moffit was in a position to direct Project 2025’s agenda that seeks to eliminate coverage for pre-existing conditions, raise prescription drug costs, and pave the way for Medicare’s privatization.
- Hogan appointed Andrea Bottner to Maryland’s Commission for Women before she ultimately became an advisory board member of Project 2025, which not only wants to ban medical abortions but also called for states to surviel pregnancies and report to the federal government the number of abortions that took place.
- Hogan encouraged Project 2025 author Don Devine to run for Congress against Steny Hoyer, even going so far as to launch a committee supporting his candidacy. Since then, Hogan’s pal Devine has embraced authoritarianism by authoring this plan, which seeks to take power away from “non-partisan ‘experts’” and replace them with Trump loyalists.
- Hogan tried to hide his membership on the board of the Maryland Public Policy Institute by omitting them from federal financial disclosure firms. Curious why? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that MPPI is an organization tied to ALEC, which is an outright member of Project 2025 and helped advise on its development.
- His 2024 Senate campaign hired a firm to advise him that was operated by people who were part of Project 2025’s Advisory Board.
- Project 2025 advisory board members have repeatedly praised Hogan for, among other things, restricting mail-in voting.
“In a state that hasn’t elected a Republican to the Senate in 40 years, Hogan’s associations with Project 2025 magnify his inability to represent the people of Maryland,” said SMP spokesperson Von Walker. “Come November, Marylanders will elect Angela Alsobrooks. Her commitment to the people of Maryland is as clear as Hogan’s is to a dangerous GOP agenda.”
