Larry Hogan Sr. On Bucking His Party, Inspiring His Son

Congressional Pictorial Directory, 93rd

In July 1974 Maryland congressman Larry Hogan Sr., father of the current governor, was the first Republican on the House Judiciary Committee to vote for impeachment of President Richard Nixon.

Larry Hogan Sr. was a Republican, representing Southern Maryland in Congress, and his teen-aged son was aware during the Watergate investigation that the whole world was watching. At his inauguration last January, Hogan Jr. pointed to his father's decision to buck his party as a model for integrity.

Father’s Day seems like a good time to learn why the governor is so proud of his dad, so we joined Larry Hogan Sr. at his home in Frederick.
