Lawrence J. "Larry" Hogan, Jr. (born May 25, 1956) is an American politician who is the Governor-elect of Maryland. A Republican, he is the founder and president of Hogan Companies, a commercial real estate brokerage firm. Hogan took leave of his business in 2003 to serve as a Cabinet Secretary in the Bob Ehrlich administration. In 2011, Hogan founded the grassroots organization Change Maryland. In 2014, Hogan announced his candidacy for Governor of Maryland, and won the 2014 race.
Early life & education
Hogan was born in 1956 in Washington, D.C.. Hogan's father, Lawrence Hogan, Sr., served as a U.S. Congressman from Maryland's 5th Congressional District from 1969 to 1975 and as Prince George's County Executive from 1978 to 1982. Hogan attended DeMatha Catholic High School and Father Lopez Catholic High School and graduated in 1974.
Hogan attended Florida State University from 1974 to 1978 where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Government and Political Science.
Business career
Hogan founded his real estate business, Hogan Companies, in 1985. Since then, the company has handled over two billion dollars in real estate transactions.
Civic leadership & political career
As the son of a U.S. Congressman, Hogan was exposed to politics at a young age. Throughout his life, Hogan has worked in many aspects of politics including political campaigns and citizen referendums. Hogan served as a Delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1976, 1980, 1984, and 1988.
Congressional nominee
In the 1992 election cycle, Hogan was the Republican nominee for Maryland's 5th Congressional District, running against Democratic incumbent Steny Hoyer. The race was the closest in Hoyer's tenure, with Hogan winning four out of the district's five counties and taking 45% of the vote to Hoyer's 55%. No other challenger has come as close to unseating Hoyer since.
Cabinet Secretary in Ehrlich-Steele Administration
Hogan took a temporary leave of absence from his business to serve as Secretary of Appointments in the Bob Ehrlich Administration from 2003 to 2007. In this capacity, Hogan appointed over 7,000 individuals to positions in every level of government.
Change Maryland
In 2011, Hogan founded Change Maryland. The purpose of the anti-tax organization is to advocate for lower taxes and less government spending in Maryland. As the chairman of Change Maryland, Hogan has conducted numerous studies on the economic impact of the O'Malley-Brown Administration and its passage of 40 consecutive tax and fee hikes, and has emerged as one of the leading voices of opposition to the Annapolis establishment.
Gubernatorial run
Hogan formally announced his campaign for Governor of Maryland on January 21, 2014. On January 29, 2014, Hogan announced his running mate, former Maryland Secretary of General Services Boyd Rutherford. On June 24, 2014, Hogan and Rutherford won the Republican primary, receiving 43% of the vote. They faced and defeated the Democratic nominee, Lt. Governor Anthony Brown on November 4, 2014.
Personal life
Hogan currently resides in Anne Arundel County with his wife Yumi, a Korean-American artist and adjunct instructor at Maryland Institute College of Art. The couple has three daughters.
