The Maryland Daily Record is reporting that Anthony Brown has lost his Gubernatorial bid against Republican Larry Hogan.
In a state where registered Democratic voters outnumber Republicans 2 to 1, Brown’s loss serves as a referendum on Martin O’Malley’s last eight years. After more than 40 tax hikes, a massive increase in government spending, a high profile prison scandal and a disastrous ObamaCare rollout, Maryland voters have had enough.
Brown’s loss is a blow to O’Malley’s legacy and incipient presidential campaign.
