Did This Maryland Democrat’s Prohibition of Developer Money to One Office Hurt His Fundraising for Another?

May 24, 2018

The Democratic primary in the Maryland governor’s race is heating up, and a new profile in the Baltimore Sun of Rushern Baker, the Prince George County Executive, raised some eyebrows when he discussed a rule he put on donations to county executive campaigns.

Here’s what the piece, published last week, said about donations from developers:

Along the way he has largely wiped away the impression that Prince George’s County is a pay-to-play den of corruption. He forbade developers to donate to the political campaigns of county executives — a move which has somewhat hamstrung his ability to raise money to run for governor.

AR Intel took a closer look at Baker’s financial disclosure report to see if his fundraising was genuinely “hamstrung” by a self-imposed rule that doesn’t apply to the office for which he’s currently running. If you want to see the numbers yourself, become an AR Intel Insider today!
