The 2018 Maryland gubernatorial election will take place on November 6, 2018, to elect the Governor of Maryland. The Republican and Democratic primaries were held on June 26, 2018.[1] Incumbent Republican Governor Larry Hogan is running for reelection to a second term in office. His Democratic opponent is the former president and CEO of the NAACP, Ben Jealous.

Background

At the presidential level, Maryland is a staunchly Democratic state due to the large amount of Democratic voters in the Washington metropolitan area and Baltimore City. Maryland has not seen a Republican presidential candidate win since 1988; Hillary Clinton won the state by 26-points over Donald Trump (60% to 34%) in 2016, Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney by 26-points in 2012 (62% to 36%), and Obama defeated John McCain by 25-points in 2008 (62%-37%).

Hogan was elected governor in 2014, defeating then-lieutenant governor Anthony G. Brown by a margin of 52-47; the result was considered one of the biggest election upsets that year.[2] Prior to Hogan's victory, Bob Ehrlich, elected in 2002, had been the only Republican elected as Governor of Maryland since Spiro Agnew. However, Ehrlich was defeated for reelection in 2006 by Martin O'Malley and defeated again in 2010, when he faced O'Malley in a rematch.

Currently, Governor Hogan has a 68% approval rating, the second highest approval of any governor in the country, only behind Governor Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, who has a 71% approval rating.[3] In a staunchly Democratic state, he has high approval rating among all partisan groups (65% approval from Democrats, 64% of Independents, and 81% of Republicans).[4]

Controversies

  • 72,000 potentially voters were affected during primaries, when Motor Vehicle Administration where not able to communicate voters information due to problems with ByteGrid, a company that provides key services for Maryland elections was bought days before primary elections in 2018 by AltPoint Capital Partners, whom manager is Vladimir Potanin, a very close person from Rusian president, Vladimir Putin.[22] No changes were announced for gubernatorial election 2018.[23]
