Early voting begins today, and on the minds of many Marylanders is education. Whether it’s a lockbox for casino revenue, universal pre-kindergarten, or an education watchdog - incumbent Republican Governor Larry Hogan and his top opponent Democrat Ben Jealous have made many funding promises.

Sheilah Kast is the host of On The Record, Monday-Friday, 9:30-10:00 am.
Maureen Harvie is Senior Supervising Producer for On the Record. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and joined WYPR in 2014 as an intern for the newsroom. Whether coordinating live election night coverage, capturing the sounds of a roller derby scrimmage, interviewing veterans, or booking local authors, she is always on the lookout for the next story.
