New ads from Larry Hogan highlight his daughters praising him as a ‘girl dad’ and supporting reproductive rights.

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is launching two new campaign ads to counter attacks on his reproductive rights stance as he runs for a Senate seat. The ads feature his daughters and granddaughters defending his record on reproductive rights. EMILY’s List is investing $2.2 million in attack ads targeting Hogan’s stance on abortion. Democrats are leaning on abortion rights to overcome Hogan’s popularity in deep-blue Maryland. Hogan’s ads highlight his record on protecting access to contraceptives and equal pay while serving as governor. He vetoed legislation expanding abortion access in the state in 2022. Despite polls showing Democratic opponent Angela Alsobrooks ahead slightly, Hogan remains within the margin of error. He has distanced himself from former President Donald Trump and national Republicans. Democrats are focusing on Hogan’s abortion record in the campaign, while Hogan has labeled himself a “pro-choice” candidate. GOP candidates in other states have also featured female relatives in ads defending their views on reproductive rights. Abortion has become a central issue in the campaign, with both parties using it to mobilize voters. The ads are part of Hogan’s strategy to counter Democratic attacks on his abortion record and maintain his popularity in the Senate race.
