Md. GOP Gubernatorial Hopefuls Craig And George Fail To Qualify For Public Funding Match

Two Maryland Republican gubernatorial candidates who sought to participate in the state’s public financing system this year have failed to raise enough money to qualify, according to election officials.

Neither Harford County Executive David R. Craig nor Del. Ronald A. George (Anne Arundel) will be eligible for matching funds in advance of the June 24 primary, elections officials said Tuesday.

Candidates seeking to participate in the system faced a deadline of Monday at midnight to raise about $260,000 in “seed money” from individual donors in increments of $250 or less.
