Democratic challengers are lining up to take on Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. But they’re not quite household names yet. In a new Goucher College poll, likely Democratic voters in the state said they don’t know enough about the current crop of candidates to decide who they’d back as their party’s standard-bearer in next year’s gubernatorial election.
The potential candidate with the highest name recognition among Democratic voters — former Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler — has decided not to throw his hat in the ring.
Among candidates in the running, Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker garners the most support. Twenty-one percent of respondents said they would consider voting for Baker, who’s served as the leader of Maryland’s second-most populous county since 2010
