As the rookie Republican governor of deep-blue Maryland, Larry Hogan had already beaten some daunting odds. A common-sense businessman with a down-to-earth style, he had won a long-shot election the Washington Post called a stunning upset. Hed worked with cops and neighborhood leaders to quell Baltimores worst rioting in 47 years. Hed stared down entrenched political bosses to save his state from fiscal catastrophe, winning praise from Democrats, Republicans and independents.
But none of that prepared him for the life-threatening challenge he would have to face next: a highly aggressive form of late-stage cancer. Could Americas most popular governor beat the odds again?
The people of Maryland, with their Hogan Strong wristbands, were certainly pulling for him, sending him back to the governors office in a landslide. As Governor Hogan began his second term cancer-free, his next challenge went far beyond Maryland: bringing our divided country together for a better future. And in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic changed that future forever, Hogan was once again called to rely upon his bold, open-minded approach to problem-solving to lead and serve in a time of unprecedented turmoil.
In his own words and unique, plain-spoken style, Larry Hogan tells the feel-good story of a fresh American leader being touted as the anti-Trump Republican. A lifelong uniter at a time of sharp divisions. A politician with practical solutions that take the best from all sides. An open-hearted man who has learned important lessons from his own struggles in life.
As we face a future full of questions, Hogan offers some surprising answers. Still Standing is a timely reminder that perseverance in the face of unexpected obstacles is at the heart of the American spirit.

The inside story of the political nuclear explosion that elected and re-elected a Republican governor in Americas bluest state.
Chris Wallace
A great story about what strong, independent leadership really looks like.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Governor Hogans story is inspiring and one we can all relate to. He showed perseverance when facing what appeared to be insurmountable odds and came out on top.
Cal Ripken, Jr
An account of how Americas governors worked together to fight the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus pandemic.
Governor Andrew Cuomo
Press About Governor Larry Hogan
If the U.S. muddles through the current crisis, it will be because Americas governors stepped up to the plateat least in part because of Hogan.
Time magazine, April 2020
Ive been impressed by governors across the country, including... Governor Hogan and the many others who are... providing a model for us all to follow.
Bill Gates on Twitter, March 2020
Larrys at the top of a list of leaders that I admire today because whats happening here in Annapolis is the antithesis of whats happening in Washington, DC, these days. Larry embodies the strong, independent leadership America needs now.
Governor Jeb Bush, January 2019
Governor Larry Hogan is showing that leadership isnt restricted by politics.
USA Today Editorial Board, March 2020
One the nations model crisis leaders.
Mark J. Rozell for The Hill, April 2020
A leader solving the problems in front of him.
Carly Fiorina, April 2020
[Governor Hogan] comes up in most conversations about central figures who could be well-positioned for a presidential run.
National Journal, April 2020
Larry Hogan can offer a serious and meaningful alternative to the corroded conservatism we have in Washington today.
Brett Stephens for The New York Times, January 2019
Hogan has shown an ability to win across party lines. He won re-election by double digits in Maryland, a state that last voted Republican in a presidential election in 1988.
Chuck Todd on MSNBC, January 2019
The Un-Trump Republican: In the shadow of the nations storm-tossed political epicenter, Larry Hogans governorship is seeming more and more like an intriguing test case for a radically different version of the Republican Party: What would it look like if a politician played to Trumps electoral coalition while rejecting just about every element of the presidents personal style?
Matthew Mosk for Washington Post Magazine, August 2017
The rare Republican unafraid of the president.
Yahoo News, April 2020
To his immense credit, Mr. Hogan, a Republican in a state where Democrats enjoy a 2-to-1 advantage, has largely fulfilled that pledge, rejecting what he called the extremes of either political party and taking a pragmatic, centrist approach to leadership that has been a tonic in a venomous era. In polarized times, he has stuck to the political middle, from where he has fashioned agreements that will benefit millions of Marylanders. Thats no easy feat.
Washington Post Editorial Board, October 2018
Now [Hogan] seems to be showing the country how to govern as a pragmatist and build bridges with Democrats.
Jason Russell for The Washington Examiner, September 2016
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is a pragmatic, personable Republican who governs like a working class independent in a heavily Democratic state. He makes no apologies for his conservative principles, while welcoming those who dont, giving him space to thrive in a blue state despite a president who often leaves him blue in the face.
Adam Goodman for The Tampa Bay Times, January 2019
[One] of the most lauded public officials during the coronavirus crisis.
Politico, April 2020
The lead GOP voice for urgent action on pandemic.
The Washington Post, April 2020
A leader in early action on coronavirus.
NBC, March 2020
Mr. Hogan, a Republican in a Democrat-loving state wields a hammer of common sense amid a map of political avengers.
Deborah Simmons for The Washington Times, April 2020
In Maryland, Hogan has burnished his reputation as a forceful, can-do leader.
Robert McCartney for The Washington Post, March 2020
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has been among the most decisive and aggressive politicians in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
Jennifer Rubin for The Washington Post, March 2020
Larry Hogan has handled the rise of Donald Trump better than any other Republican politician. Hogan is a rare bird in American politics, a broadly popular Republican governor in a very blue state. Hogan has acquired a reputation for affable, moderate pragmatism and assembled a coalition spanning Republicans, independents, and conservative Democrats.
Andrew Egger for The Weekly Standard, June 2018
What is equally surprisingand more welcome, as a reminder to Americans that the country was not always so fractious and polarised[Hogan] has built his career on bipartisanship and compromise.
The Economist, October 2018
