Moderate Republicans such as Maryland Governor Larry Hogan present a different model—one that used to dominate much of the electoral map but has now dwindled to a handful of states, most of them normally Democratic. Mileah Kromer does a splendid job of depicting Hogan as the\u003ci\u003e blue-state Republican\u003c\/i\u003e. Hogan’s two victories in territory usually hostile to the GOP suggest the path other Republicans can take to win in blue and competitive purple states.”—\u003cb\u003eLarry J. Sabato\u003c\/b\u003e, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eBlue-State Republican\u003c\/i\u003e is a master class in Governor Larry Hogan’s improbable rise to power in deep-blue Maryland in 2014 and a lesson in why he may beat expectations again if he runs for president. Kromer has long been a go-to source for reporters covering Maryland politics. With this book, she establishes herself as a resource for anyone trying to understand Hogan’s place in the modern Republican Party. Time will tell if there is room in Donald Trump’s GOP for a centrist. If Hogan’s gamble pays off, then Kromer is offering us the first look at his recipe—an approach others may try to emulate. Even for those of us who had a front-row seat to Hogan’s rise, Blue-State Republican is an illuminating take on one of the most compelling and counterintuitive political stories of our time.”—\u003cb\u003eJohn Fritze\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e, and former Washington correspondent for the \u003ci\u003eBaltimore Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Temple University Press,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408323944791,"sku":"9781439921883","price":46.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781439921883.jpg?v=1730502442","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bluestate-republican-9781439921883","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
