HOGAN CRIES FOUL ON SUPER PAC: The relationship between Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown’s gubernatorial campaign and a Super PAC is not only too close, it’s illegal, according to Larry Hogan, the Republican candidate for governor, reports Bryan Sears in the Daily Record. - Super PACs can collect as much money as they want from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend that money advocating for a candidate or cause. But Super PACs are not allowed to strategically coordinate and cooperate with the candidates and their campaigns — something that has been difficult for many states to define and police, reports Jenna Johnson for the Post. - Hogan highlighted that Brown’s campaign finance reports for Friends of Anthony Brown show he employed two fundraising consultants who also work for One State, One Future PAC. That PAC in June paid for television advertisements attacking one of Brown’s primary opponents, Democrat Attorney General Doug Gansler, reports Erin Cox in the Sun.
