Hogan's daughter announces campaign to become top prosecutor of St. Mary's County.

Larry Hogan tweeted his support for his daughter's candidacy.

ST. MARY'S COUNTY, Md. — The daughter of Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced she is running to become state's attorney for St. Mary's County in southern Maryland.

Jaymi Sterling, who has been a prosecutor for 14 years, announced her candidacy in a 30-second campaign video posted to Twitter on Tuesday.

In the video, Sterling says "integrity" has guided her throughout her career as an assistant state's attorney and a deputy state's attorney.

"I have worked my way up to serve St. Mary's County, but qualifications alone are not enough," she says in the video. "It's the qualities you bring to the job that matter. We deserve a state's attorney who demands accountability and does it with integrity."

Sterling's campaign website says she is a longtime resident of St. Mary's who lives in the county with her husband and two children.

According to reporting in the Washington Post, Sterling has appeared in campaign ads for Hogan's gubernatorial campaigns in 2014 and 2018, defending her father from critics taking aim at his record on abortion and highlighting his record on women's issues.

The governor tweeted his support for Sterling Tuesday, calling his daughter a "tough prosecutor."'>>>
