Hogan And Brown Address Local Officials
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- Maryland's gubernatorial candidates outlined their plans for the state in a forum in Annapolis Friday.
In the current CBS News/New York Times Battleground Tracker Poll, the current estimate for the race gives Democrat Anthony Brown a 14-point lead over Republican Larry Hogan.
Friday, the candidates talked to Pat Warren about the campaign and the reaction they're getting from voters.
Gubernatorial candidates Anthony Brown and Larry Hogan were on the campaign trail in Annapolis Friday. The candidates are counting down the days to the November 4 election and tell WJZ they can feel the excitement building.
"It's exciting, right? If football's your sport, we're in the red zone. If baseball's your sport, we're in the 8th, 9th inning. It's getting exciting," Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown said. "My running mate Ken Ulman and I, we're out there on the campaign trail, engaged in the that conversation with Marylanders about how you build a better Maryland."
The Hogan Campaign is confident that momentum is on its side.
"We're excited because our message seems to be reaching people all across the state and everywhere we've been. We're feeling great. The momentum is on our side. We've got tens of thousands of people engaged in our effort," Hogan said.
Hogan and Brown addressed the Maryland Municipal League's fall conference Friday.
"In this election, we do have a choice--a choice between two very different visions for Maryland's future. So my question for Marylanders is simple: what kind of future are we going to choose for our state?" Brown said.
"If you feel that a change of direction and a change of leadership is needed, it doesn't matter what part of the state you're from or what your party affiliation is, you have the power to do something about it," said Hogan.
Maryland voters now have 53 days to make up their minds, and the candidates intend to make the most of that time.
Marylanders will also be deciding local races--members of Congress and the state General Assembly.
