Ben Jealous releases NRA questionnaire, calls on Maryland Gov. Hogan to do the same

Ben Jealous, the Democratic candidate for Maryland governor, on Monday released his answers to the 2018 National Rifle Association questionnaire and called on Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to do the same.

"The people of Maryland deserve transparency and accountability from their elected officials," Jealous said in a statement. "When an organization like the NRA has repeatedly called for policies that go against Maryland values, we all deserve to know where our elected officials stand in public and in private.”

Jealous has repeatedly criticized Hogan for never releasing his answers to the NRA in a four-year-old questionnaire. During the 2014 campaign, Hogan earned an A- rating from the organization.

In a meeting with students from Great Mills High School last week, Hogan agreed to reject any money or support from the NRA.
