OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Two Republican candidates for governor of Maryland skirmished over who has fought against tax increases the most during a debate Monday involving four GOP primary candidates.

Del. Ron George, of Anne Arundel County, said opponent Larry Hogan hasn’t been the one battling on the front lines in the state capital, as George has from his seat on the House Ways and Means Committee. George criticized a grassroots political group led by Hogan for being late to the fight. While business organizations have come to speak out, George said Change Maryland has been nowhere to be seen in Annapolis.
