Md. Governor-Elect Larry Hogan Continues Statewide 'Thank You' Tour
DUNDALK, Md. (WJZ) -- Governor-elect Larry Hogan continues his statewide "thank you" tour. He wrapped up an appearance in Baltimore County Thursday.
Political reporter Pat Warren has more on his message.
The governor-elect so far is still acting like he did when he was a candidate for governor, talking to people in the packed Boulevard Diner in Dundalk.
Larry Hogan's visit at the Boulevard Diner was greeted with much of the same enthusiasm that followed him through election night.
"It's really kind of unbelievable to me," Hogan said.
"Just the way he handled himself during the campaign with all of the slander and everything else, he did a great job. I think it's a good thing that he got elected," one Hogan supporter said.
"I think Larry Hogan's awesome, OK? And I'm really, really ready for some changes in this state," said another.
In the week since he won election, governor-elect Hogan hasn't stopped running. A mad dash to shake hands at the St. Mary's Veterans Day Parade Monday was just the beginning of a "thank you" tour of the state.
"I don't want to be a governor that sits off in Annapolis and is far removed from the people. If you noticed in that campaign, we traveled to Baltimore City and all 23 counties seven or eight times each, met tens of thousands of people. Obviously we're going to have to spend a little more time in Annapolis to do some real hard work," said Hogan. "But I want to get out throughout the whole four years of the term and talk to real people because I think people out here are the ones that we're working for. We've got to listen to their concerns and try to solve their problems."
Governor-elect Hogan's inauguration is January 21.
