Maryland 's Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus criticizes former Gov. Larry Hogan ’s refusal to sign several pieces of pro-LGBTQ legislation during his nearly 10 years as governor.

The statement comes as Hogan vies for an open U.S. Senate seat in one of the most closely watched races of the 2024 cycle.

Hogan 's press secretary says Hogan "championed numerous initiatives" to advance LGBTQ rights.

An AARP poll released last week showed the race could be closer than expected, with Hogan and Alsobrooks tied at 46 percent support.

A quarter of Democratic respondents said they support Hogan , a moderate Republican and frequent critic of former President Trump .

Maryland state Delegate Ashanti Martinez , a Democrat , said Hogan ’s willingness to omit his signature on legislation advancing LGBTQ rights “is a stain on his record”.
