Donald Norris, Public Policy, Provides Maryland Primary Election Analysis

Donald NorrisThroughout Maryland’s primary election night on June 24, Public Policy Professor and Chair Donald Norris provided analysis on WJZ 13 for several key races, including the race for governor and attorney general. After the governor’s race was set, Norris offered his take on how Democrat Anthony Brown and Republican Larry Hogan will proceed in the months ahead before Election Day in November.

“I think these guys are going to go after each other tooth and toenail, quite frankly. It’s a Republican establishment candidate who has positioned himself as a moderate to draw off Democratic votes,” Norris said. ”Brown is, of course, the Democrat established candidate. I think it’s going to be all odds favoring the Democrat because the state is so Democratic, so deep blue.”

Norris was quoted in The Daily Record and The Baltimore Sun providing post-election analysis, and also was quoted in a Baltimore Sun article on July 1 about Governor O’Malley’s intervention in the Johns Hopkins Hospital labor dispute. The article can be found here.
