Gov. Larry Hogan canceled his Thursday schedule after his father suffered a stroke.

"I can confirm that the governor's father, Larry Hogan Sr., suffered a major stroke on Saturday and has been receiving professional care since then," Hogan spokeswoman Amelia Chasse said. "Unfortunately, his condition has declined, and the governor postponed his schedule to be by his father's side."

The elder Hogan, 88, is a former congressman and Prince George's County executive. The elder Hogan made an unsuccessful bid for the governor's office in 1974, but lost in the Republican primary in part because he voted for all three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon. He was the only Republican on the House Judiciary Committee to do so.

The governor, who didn't support either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, wrote in his father.
