GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Hogan Criticized For Missing Events

Maryland’s GOP gubernatorial candidates volleying for the party nomination sat down for a more than two-hour debate on the Johns Hopkins University campus last week, but one contender was noticeably absent from the table.

Larry Hogan, since the announcement of his campaign late January, has missed at least five major forums and debates due to scheduling conflicts, a habit some of his Republican opponents have derided.

“For the candidates that are here, I am grateful that they’re here and honored that they’re here. Because to be quite honest, we’re asking you for your vote, we’re asking you to nominate us, and last I checked, I don’t hire somebody if they don’t show up for the interview,” said GOP candidate Charles Lollar at the Johns Hopkins debate.
