Because of the extent of these constitutional powers, the governor of Maryland has been ranked as being among the most powerful governors in the United States.

Ulman previously worked in the office of Maryland Governor Parris Glendening as liaison to the Board of Public Works and secretary to the Cabinet.

Brown predicted that winning the general election would be just "a little bit of a molehill", [1] but he lost to Hogan by a margin of 65,510 votes in the Democratic-leaning state. [2] The Washington Post called the result "a stunning upset" and Republican Governors Association Chairman Chris Christie called it "the biggest upset in the entire country." [3]

Campaign

Hogan heavily criticized Brown for his handling of Maryland's health care exchange as a part of the Affordable Care Act, labeling him as "the most incompetent man in Maryland." [73] The Maryland Health Benefit Exchange enrolled fewer than 4,000 people. [74]

Hogan avoided social issues by promising not to touch the state's abortion or gun control laws. [75] Campaign ads were a significant part of the first debate, culminating in Hogan's call for Brown to "apologize to the women of Maryland for trying to scare them."

Brown pledged no new taxes, no increased taxes, and a look at state spending if elected. Hogan responded by citing Brown/O'Malley's same claim in the 2010 election and how that claim was followed by "40 consecutive tax hikes." [76] Brown said there have been times he's disagreed with O'Malley, like on mortgage reduction. [77] "Brown did not stay to take questions from reporters" and both candidates accused the other of not telling the truth. [78]

Debates

Three debates were scheduled and occurred during the Maryland Governor's Race. [79]
