Hogan promises to be advocate for rural Maryland

WILLIAMSPORT — Gov.-elect Larry Hogan thanked Washington County supporters Sunday for his successful run for governor, said rural Maryland has been neglected and promised to change that after he's sworn in this month.

"I can promise you that Washington County and Western Maryland are no longer gonna be forgotten," Hogan said to enthusiastic applause at the Williamsport Volunteer Fire and EMS station on Sunday afternoon.

More than 300 people turned up to show their support for the next governor.

While the election was "pretty hard," Hogan said the transition has been more difficult because "we're faced with a tremendous budget problem down in Annapolis."


Hogan asked for patience. His team will get to work, but change will not happen overnight, he told the crowd.
"I really do feel that rural Maryland ... Western Maryland, Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland — have been neglected. Haven't had a seat to the table. You guys haven't been well represented. Nobody's been paying attention. I promise you that that's all going to change on Jan. 21," Hogan said, referring to his inauguration date.

  1. Let's hope he's willing to veto the grocery bag tax that will show up on his desk soon...or be willing to repeal it if Marty signs it as a 'lovely parting gift'!

  2. Patience. That's what it will take to undo the decades of democratic rule in this state.

    I'll give it - I hope everyone else will as well. I truly believe that given some time and the chance Hogan will deliver on his campaign promises.

  3. Come to the shore Hogan! Look around! Listen to the drums beating! Stop the past corruption that still lingers in our mist! Start with the FOP and this collective bargaining! And everything the past council screwed the people with!
