Cox stated he by no means thought-about working for governor in closely Democratic Maryland earlier than his struggle towards shutdowns, masks restrictions and vaccine mandates centered his ambition and rallied supporters.
“I had no plans, by no means even crossed my creativeness,” stated Cox, 48, who represents a Frederick, Md., district.
His report of passing two payments, tacking on a number of amendments to others and casting votes on the perimeter of his personal occasion wouldn’t usually portend a shot on the state’s prime job. Neither would calling the 2020 election of President Biden “stolen” in a deeply Democratic state, nor attending a convention in Gettysburg, Pa., this spring that promoted QAnon theories.
However now he’s on the prime of the GOP ticket, waging an uphill marketing campaign towards a Democratic opponent who has outraised him 10 to 1. Cox’s report as a one-term state lawmaker illustrates what he did — and tried to do — when he had a place of energy.
