In 1980, the 20something son of a former congressman and Prince Georges County executive was named the chair of the youth for reagan. He is looking quite youthful today, i might add. He supported then governor reagan during the 1976 president ial primary. And now, young larry hogan would serve as a delegate to the 1980 republican convention.

He managed to support him in 2020 as well. [laughter] now, i know you consider president reagan your political hero, governor, but that, sir, thats real dedication. And by the way, you didnt have to do that just to be invited here today. [laughter] ladies and gentlemen, i want to thank you for joining us. Were honored to welcome you virtua
