The county execs recent
fundraising prowess has significantly raised his stature in the
nascent gubernatorial race . Today,
Lt. Governor Anthony Brown was a guest on the
Kojo Nnamdi Show and was asked about his future political
ambitions. Kojo noted that the
lieutenant guv had over $800,000 in the bank and then went on to comment that States Attorney
Doug Gansler had over four million and that “former Howard County Executive Ken Ulman” had a million three. He then corrected the “former” comment.
Notably, the State Comptroller
Peter Franchot wasn't even mentioned even though he had more cash on hand than Brown.
The point is,
Ken was mentioned in the top three. That’s a long way from where he was
last August.
In answering the question the lieut guv said he is "humbled" by the generosity of his supporters and that he
see's himself still "working in the state" after 2014.
