George Tames—The New York Times/Redux  by [Tessa Berenson](https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/)  ## Tessa Berenson Apr 21, 2017 12:16 PM UTC Lawrence J. Hogan Sr., a Maryland politician who was the first Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee to call for [President Nixon’s impeachment](http://time.com/3063704/nixon-impeachment/), died Thursday at the age of 88. Current Maryland governor Larry Hogan Jr., Hogan Sr.’s son, announced his father’s passing in a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/larryhogan/photos/a.909053089139457.1073741828.907931509251615/1533262190051874/?type=3&theater). “At 10:24 tonight, an American hero, and the man that I am most proud of, passed away,” Hogan Jr. wrote. “He had an amazing life that spanned 88 years. He leaves behind a loving family, countless friends and admirers, and a lasting legacy that won’t be forgotten.” After a long career in county and state politics, Hogan Sr. was first elected to Congress in 1968, [the Washington _Post_ reports](https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/lawrence-j-hogan-sr-md-republican-who-called-for-nixons-impeachment-dies-at-88/2017/04/20/80fe7f5c-251e-11e7-a1b3-faff0034e2de%5Fstory.html?utm%5Fterm=.8dbcbb8acf40). But his real moment in the national spotlight came in 1974, when one day before the House Judiciary Committee was to begin debate on Nixon’s impeachment, he held a news conference saying he favored ousting the president. His stand cost him support from the Republican party and his voting base, and he lost the Republican gubernatorial primary a month after Nixon resigned. “I assumed that in coming out for impeachment I would lose the nomination, which I did,” Hogan said in 1987\. “It had absolutely nothing to do with politics. I still resent people saying that now.” Hogan Jr. said during his inauguration as Maryland’s governor that he learned from his father’s example, [the Baltimore _Sun_ reports](http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/obituaries/bs-md-ob-lawrence-hogan-20170420-story.html). “I probably learned more about integrity in one day when my dad read that vote,” he said, “than most people learn in a lifetime.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4750082/larry-hogan-father-nixon-impeachment-dies/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4750082/larry-hogan-father-nixon-impeachment-dies/"},"headline":"Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's Father, Republican Who Called for Nixon’s Impeachment, Dies","datePublished":"2017-04-21T12:16:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:54:24.986Z","description":"He was 88","url":"https://time.com/4750082/larry-hogan-father-nixon-impeachment-dies/","keywords":["Congress","Maryland","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bb1d543b3d1eee5/6988c3e3ab6d77015a6adbf8/lawrence-j-hogan-maryland-representative.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bb1d543b3d1eee5/6988c3e3ab6d77015a6adbf8/lawrence-j-hogan-maryland-representative.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"lawrence-j-hogan-maryland-representative","caption":"lawrence-j-hogan-maryland-representative","creditText":"George Tames—The New York Times/Redux","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/congress/","name":"Congress"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4750082/larry-hogan-father-nixon-impeachment-dies/","name":"Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's Father, Republican Who Called for Nixon’s Impeachment, Dies"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Richard Nixon's Resignation","description":"See Richard Nixon's Resignation, in an exclusive clip from CNN's 'The Seventies'","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/lUMEpvS9/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-12T18:42:15.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/lUMEpvS9.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4750082/larry-hogan-father-nixon-impeachment-dies/","duration":"PT1M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4750082/larry-hogan-father-nixon-impeachment-dies/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
