Overview
- The Maryland State Board of Elections posted Cox’s filing on Friday, setting up a potential rematch with Gov. Wes Moore.
- Cox’s most recent finance report attests he raised and spent less than $1,000 this month.
- Rob Krop, owner of The Machine Gun Nest in Frederick, is listed for lieutenant governor after Cox served as his lead attorney in a 2024 case that ended in Krop’s acquittal, and federal prosecutors later dismissed charges against Sheriff Chuck Jenkins.
- The Republican field now includes retired bank executive Ed Hale Sr. after Hogan confirmed he will not seek his old job.
- Maryland Democrats quickly criticized Cox’s bid in a public statement, while Moore’s campaign declined comment and Cox’s campaign website says it will be operating soon.
