Franchot Beefs Up Campaign Team, Outlines Broad Priorities in New Video

State Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot (D) is cranking up his campaign for governor.

Franchot announced Tuesday that he has hired the Baltimore-based Tidemore Group to run his bid to succeed incumbent Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. (R), who is term-limited, in 2022.

Tidemore is led by two veteran Maryland messaging and policy gurus, Ben Groff and Ben Smith.
