Larry Hogan is taking to the airwaves in his latest attempt to neutralize Democratic attacks on his abortion-rights record.
The former Maryland governor had declined to fully elaborate exactly where he stood on the issue during his states Senate GOP primary. And in the week since Hogan won his partys Senate primary, hes repeatedly sought to clarify his stance, directly addressing abortion in his first major speech as the nominee, in interviews and now on TV.
Hogans first general election ad is set to air Wednesday, and its entirely about abortion. In it, the former governor goes direct-to-camera as he endorses codifying the abortion protections the nation had under Roe v. Wade.
With Roe overturned, many have asked what I'll do in the United States Senate, he says in the ad. I'll support legislation that makes Roe the law of the land in every state, so every woman can make her own choice.
The 30-second spot, shared first with POLITICO, is part of a more than $1 million buy and will air on cable, broadcast and digital platforms in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., media markets. Its the latest move in a bid by Hogan to defang abortion-rights-centered attacks that Democrats have wielded against Republicans since the fall of Roe.

He was good Governor. I don't think that he will make a very good Senator.
