Democratic spending boosts conservative candidate in Maryland governor’s race

In the race for the Republican nomination for Maryland’s next governor, the biggest spender is the Democratic caucus.

The Democratic Governors Association has spent or plans to spend nearly $1.2 million on ads branding GOP candidate Dan Cox as too conservative, according to data from ad tracking firm AdImpact. Political analysts say the ads are likely to help Mr. Cox, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, win the GOP nomination, but he will have a hard time winning the general election in a state where President Biden defeated Mr. Trump by 65% ​​to 32%.
