BALTIMORE— Former NAACP president Ben Jealous
announced Wednesday that he's running for governor of Maryland as a
progressive Democrat, and in doing so he repeatedly tried to link
popular incumbent Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to President Donald Trump.
Jealous, who is running in a state where
Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1, could be running in a crowded
primary to challenge Hogan next year. Like a lot of Maryland Democrats
these days, Jealous criticized Hogan for not speaking out against
Trump's policies.
"We come together today both relieved that we
live in a state as prosperous and full of promise as Maryland, and yet
increasingly alarmed, as it seems like every week our governor becomes a
little more like the lion in the Wizard of Oz: all strength and no
political courage," Jealous said.
