Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown is widely expected to officially announce his candidacy for governor today in his home county of Prince George’s. Donald F. Norris, professor and chair of public policy at UMBC, told the Baltimore Sun that support from current Gov. Martin O’Malley is one of the reasons Brown is the “odds-on favorite” for the job.
“He’s going to have the governor’s endorsement, and he will have access to the governor’s election organization,” Norris said, in an AP story on the anticipated announcement. These factors could give him a notable advantage over potential opponents, such as State Attorney General Doug Gansler.
