Hogan exits race, urging Ehrlich to enter Amedori announces she'll run for U.S. Senate by Douglas Tallman Staff Writer

Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. bowed out of the Republican gubernatorial race Monday, calling on his former boss, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., to enter the campaign against Gov. Martin O'Malley.

Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown said Friday that he didn't think Ehrlich had much of a record to run on, in case he does try to reclaim the governorship.

Also on the election front, Carmen Amedori, a former delegate, announced she was running for U.S. Senate.

[…]

Meanwhile, Amedori would be the third Republican to file a candidacy for U.S. Senate. Daniel W. McAndrew and Jim Rutledge, both of Forest Hill, have filed to run as Republican candidates for senator, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections. Eric Wargotz, a Queen Anne's County commissioner and pathologist, also is planning to run for the seat.

"It's not something on a whim. It's something I've been wanting all my life," said Amedori, who spent five and a half years in the House of Delegates representing a Carroll County district before Ehrlich appointed her to the Maryland Parole Commission.

The winner of the Sept. 14 Republican primary is likely to face U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, who is seeking a fifth term.

Defeating Mikulski, a Baltimore Democrat, could be an uphill climb for any Republican. A January poll by Gonzales Research and Marketing of Annapolis put her approval rating at 64 percent, higher than President Barack Obama and Gov. Martin O'Malley.

"Sen. Mikulski has been in office for four terms. I'm sure she has helped a lot of constituents. I'm sure her constituent service has been excellent. But they have not met Carmen Amedori," Amedori said. "I know how to provide for my constituency. And I would hope that anyone who has covered a seat for that long would have that kind of approval rating. But that's not going to deter me."

Amedori, 54, said she would work to remove excess regulations.

"For every law or regulation that people are out there supporting, I would work hard to repeal three or four others," she said.

Amedori served in the House of Delegates until 2004, when Ehrlich appointed her to the Parole Commission. That appointment ended in January.
