[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He ran on an anti tax message and won 60 percent of vote vs incumbent Dem. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2015/04/08/ten-things-to-know-about-trim/ [/quote] Good article. Plus, there was a big corruption scandal in PG County in the years before his election, so the mood was anti-incumbency and anti-government. This was also a national trend, as Reagan won in 1980 on an anti-government message. Larry Hogan Sr. picked up all the white voters - long-time rural landowners and lower income whites who had fled urban DC. Black voters simply were not voting in proportion to their size of PG County electorate nor were they operating as an organized voting block at that time. [/quote]
