Gov. Larry Hogan on Monday endorsed Republican Matt McDaniel in the City Council race to represent Southeast Baltimore, a relative conservative pocket in the city that chose Hogan over his Democratic competitor in the 2014 election.
McDaniel, a lawyer from Canton who says he will bring greater fiscal responsibility to the city, in November will face Democrat Zeke Cohen, an educator from Canton who focuses much of his campaign on providing more opportunities for children.
Hogan said McDaniel “has the right ideas to continue moving Baltimore in the right direction.”
“He is committed to improving Baltimore’s economy and making the area safer to live, work and start a family,” Hogan said in a statement released Monday. “The City Council needs Matt’s experience and judgment, and that is why I’m proud to endorse him today.”
