Lawrence Joseph Hogan Jr. is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, he has served as the 62nd Governor of Maryland since 2015. Hogan ran unsuccessful campaigns for Maryland’s 5th congressional district in 1981 and 1992, the latter of which was incumbent Steny Hoyer’s closest race.

My full statement:
Welcome back to Tokyo, Maryland @GovLarryHogan. Over 100 Japan-affiliated companies employ more than 6,000 Maryland workers—let’s build on that! Another #commercialdiplomacy win-win for Japanese companies and American workers.
This afternoon I met with the U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel to discuss a wide range of issues, including Maryland’s growing relationship with Japan and the state’s innovative Global Gateway Initiative.
Maryland and Japan share many connections that are perhaps most apparent through our sister state-prefecture relationship with Kanagawa, and we were grateful to have the chance to finally celebrate the 40th anniversary milestone of this thriving partnership.
The First Lady and I joined Governor Yuji Kuroiwa of Japan’s Kanagawa Prefecture to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Maryland’s Sister State relationship with Kanagawa.

From the mountains of Western Maryland to the beaches of the Eastern Shore, we wish all Marylanders a happy first day of Fall 🍁🍂
Great news and more momentum for our multimodal, federally-approved Traffic Relief Plan—the most important transportation project for the National Capital Region in the last 50 years.

I am one of many who will miss David dearly. Our thoughts today are with his loved ones and his community.
The First Lady and I are stunned and saddened by the passing of former State Sen. David Harrington—a visionary civic leader and tireless advocate for Prince George’s County.
David dedicated his life to serving others, and did so with a positive and inclusive spirit.
