Incumbent Gov. Larry Hogan glided to re-election in Maryland on Tuesday, becoming the first Republican governor to be re-elected in the state in 64 years.
Hogan easily survived a challenge from Democrat Ben Jealous, whom Hogan’s campaign described as “extreme.” Jealous, the former head of the NAACP, would have been the state’s first African-American governor.

“This is not your typical fight between Republicans and Democrats. This is about Maryland’s future. We put together this group, Change Maryland, that was mostly Democrats and Independents and Republicans, as well, nonpartisan, that’s how I got elected,” Hogan told WBAL NewsRadio 1090’s “The C4 Show” on Nov. 1.
“I think we’re setting an example for the rest of the nation for how you can stop the divisiveness and the anger and the extremism and sit down and get stuff done and get bipartisan, commonsense solutions,” he said.
