Remember when Gansler hosted a keg party for his kid and his friends at beach week and took pics? |

Gansler lost the primary to Anthony Brown last time he ran. What makes him think he can win this time?
Poor timing announcing his campaign the week before Beach Week. |

On the surface he's likeable but underneath he's aloof not terribly impressive. |

I would vote for him over Franchot. MD politics have a certain reputation for lack of good governance and Franchot seems to be at the center of that. To borrow a phrase from Trump, he’s a big part of “the swamp”. |

Agree with that but he's at least pretty smart. He's definitely a laxbro though. It would have to be a pretty weak field before I'd vote for him. |

Technically speaking, he did not “host” a keg party but instead attending a keg party with minors consuming alcohol while he was serving as state AG. Big difference is that the former is criminal while the latter is unethical and negligent. |

| Any word on his position on police reform? I don't see any mention of that. And since he's a former prosecutor, it would be interesting to see if his views have evolved at all. |

This issue will be big. I predict the Dem who wins the primary will have a progressive stance and the Republican will get the police union support while using squishy language on reform. Note: we have a Republican Governor who easily defeated a Dem candidate the last two times. I’m not so sure MD is as progressive as we think we are. |
