RUTHERFORD OUT, SCHULZ IN GOP RACE FOR GOVERNOR: Maryland Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford (R) has decided not to seek the state’s top job in 2022, creating a wide-open GOP primary. Hogan, who is term-limited, is set to leave office in 2023. Hours after Rutherford’s announcement, Hogan Commerce secretary Kelly Schulz released a campaign video saying she would seek the Republican nomination. Schulz, 52, served as labor secretary when Hogan took office in 2015, after a term representing Frederick County in the House of Delegates. Erin Cox in the Post.
