Hogan said "it was an incredible feeling" to see the dome of the historic Annapolis State House framed in his bedroom window, the building draped with flags and awaiting his speech later today.

He offered little detail about his speech, but said it offer "a broad vision for the future, a positive hopeful, message for the state."

"We're going to do our best for the people of Maryland," Hogan said. "I'm hoping to put Maryland on a new path and really change Maryland for everyone."
