Barry,
We read you, and weâre not that far apart. Youâve seen Joeâs letter â that wasnât just a fundraising pitch. It was a signal. As you can tell, we are already on the attack, and hereâs what weâre doing behind the curtain.
âEarly Campaign Modeâ: The Maryland Democratic Party is treating 2026 as if itâs already here. Staff are being reassigned, digital operations expanded, and messaging tested months before Republicans even announce their challengers.
âFraming the Opposition,â Whether itâs Larry Hogan, Steve Hershey, or Ed Hale, the GOP will try to crack Marylandâs firewall. Our plan is to brand each of them as extensions of Trumpâs national agenda, no matter how they present themselves locally.
GRASSROOTS AS THE WEAPON: Republicans lean on big donors and national PACs. Weâre betting on small-dollar contributions and volunteer networks. The âsecret weaponâ Joe mentioned is real â itâs the backbone of our plan to out-organize and out-communicate the GOP.
âNarrative Disciplineâ: Expect relentless messaging around âmisinformation campaignsâ and âprotecting Maryland progress.â We know the strongest motivator for our base is not Mooreâs record alone, but the threat of Trump-aligned forces undoing it.
Redistricting & Beyond: Gov. Mooreâs push for mid-decade redistricting is part of the plan. Itâs not just about his re-election, itâs about safeguarding congressional seats and ensuring Maryland remains a bulwark against Republican map manipulation elsewhere. Right now the only Congressional seat thatâs vulnerable is md6, but weâre feeling comfortable about that. If we can keep that idiot Trone out of the race, April is going to look very strong going into the general.
The bottom line: Democrats are not waiting for Hogan or Hershey to declare. We are already running the 2026 race. Every email, every plea for $3 or $30, is part of a larger strategy to build a war chest, test voter messaging, and inoculate Maryland against national Republican influence.
Barry, this isnât speculation. Itâs the plan. And if youâre watching closely, youâll see the pieces moving now, long before the first debate stage is set.
You are right about Joe Francaviglia, he is smarter than most people even Brooke gave him credit for.
We can do this together.
