Douglas F. Gansler (Democratic Party) was the Attorney General of Maryland. He assumed office in 2007. He left office in 2015.

Gansler (Democratic Party) ran for election for Governor of Maryland. He lost in the Democratic primary on July 19, 2022.

Douglas F. "Doug" Gansler (b. October 30, 1962) is the former Democratic Attorney General of Maryland. Gansler won the Democratic nomination in the primary election on September 12, 2006, and beat Republican Scott Rolle in the general election on November 7, 2006, with 61 percent of the vote. Gansler was re-elected on November 2, 2010. Gansler was the only statewide candidate in the country to run completely uncontested in the 2010 elections. He took 98.18 percent of the vote.

Rather than run for a third term as attorney general in 2014, Gansler made a bid for the governor's office. Gansler lost in the primary on June 24, 2014. He was succeeded by Democrat Brian Frosh in January 2015.

Prior to becoming Maryland's chief prosecutor and law enforcement official, Gansler served eight years as state attorney for Montgomery County. Containing roughly one million residents, Montgomery County is the largest jurisdiction in the state of Maryland. In this position, Gansler handled several high-profile cases. Notably, his prosecution of John Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, known as the Beltway Snipers, helped Gansler establish a name for himself in the state justice system. He was also an assistant United States attorney. Although Gansler's legal background centered mainly on criminal prosecution, he has also worked as a civil litigator and associate for the law firms of Coburn & Schertler and Howrey & Simon, respectively.

During his tenure as attorney general, Gansler focused on issues such as consumer protection and cracking down on pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. In addition, his NAAG bio cited his creation of a statewide internet safety initiative to target online nuisances from child bullies to sex predators. His efforts to fight cyber sex-crime earned him a Champion of Online Safety Award and was considered a standout feature of his leadership. Gansler served as President of the National Association of Attorneys General from 2012-2013.

Biography

Shortly after graduating from law school, Gansler worked as a clerk for Judge John C. McAuliffe on the United States Court of Appeals. Admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1989 and the District of Columbia Bar in 1990, he joined the private practice law firms of Coburn & Schertler and Howrey & Simon. He remained there for two years. From 1992 to 1998, Gansler was an assistant to the United States attorney general for the District of Maryland. From 1999 – 2007, he served as the state's attorney for Montgomery County.

Additionally, Gansler has served in a number of other roles including:

• Member, State's Attorneys' Coordination Council (1999-2007)
• Vice-Chair, Governor's Task Force on Childproof Guns (1999 - present)
• Member, Cease Fire Council (2000 - 2003)
• Member, Task Force on Pedestrian Safety - Montgomery County (2000 - present)
• Member, Drug and Alcohol Abuse Council - Montgomery County (2004 - 2007)
• Steering Committee, Bi-County Task Force on Gang Activity (2004 - present)
• Member, District of Columbia Bar Association
• Board of Directors, Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington
• Member, Jewish Foundation for Group Homes

Political career

Maryland Attorney General (2007-2015)

Gansler took office as Maryland's attorney general in January 2007, after winning election in November 2006. He was re-elected on November 2, 2010. Gansler declined to seek a third term as attorney general in 2014, deciding to run for governor instead. He was defeated in the 2014 Democratic gubernatorial primary.

Minimum wage increase

In the fall of 2013, Gansler said he supported an increase in the state minimum wage. Among the biggest supporters of mandatory higher pay was state Rep. John Delaney (D-6) who pledged to put his own personal funds behind a campaign to raise the minimum wage state-wide. On September 6, Gansler urged an increase in the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10 per hour. "Clearly the time has come to raise the minimum wage here in Maryland," Gansler said. "While the economy shows signs of recovery, too many working families are struggling."

Protecting Financial Aid for Students and Taxpayers Act

On March 11, 2013, Gansler, with 12 other state attorneys general, sent a letter to Congress in support of the Protecting Financial Aid for Students and Taxpayers Act, a bill that sought to ban for-profit colleges from using federal funds for marketing and recruiting techniques. Senators Kay R. Hagan (D-N.C.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who chaired the chamber's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, sponsored the bill. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) stated that the proposed law aimed to "ensure that scarce federal education dollars will be used to serve and educate students rather than to finance advertising campaigns, recruitment operations, and aggressive marketing."

In the letter, the attorneys general wrote, "Federal taxpayers should not be asked to foot the bill for aggressive recruiting and deceptive sales tactics of colleges that have placed profits ahead of ensuring student success." At the time, there were an estimated 3,000 for-profit schools nationwide.

On March 12, 2013, the bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, but no subsequent action was taken and the bill died in committee.

On April 23, 2013, a related bill — HR 340 — was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce's subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training, but it also died in committee.

ACORN

The June 2008 Survey and Scorecard report published by the liberal political organization, ACORN, gave Gansler an A letter grade. The report was published to highlight state attorneys general "leading the fight to protect homeowners from joining the flood of Americans losing their homes to foreclosure," according to the group. The grade distributed to the individual attorneys general "generally broke down along party lines," with the exception of Louisiana's Buddy Caldwell.

Same-sex marriage

On February 25, 2010, Gansler published an opinion that stated that "there is no law in Maryland that says we don't recognize out-of-state marriages between same-sex couples." This, in effect, required state agencies to extend all benefits given to married heterosexual couples to married gay couples. At the same time, however, this ruling did not apply to private industries nor did it suggest that state law permitted same-sex marriage.

Impeachment attempt

As a result of Gansler's February 2010 legal opinion, in which he argued that state courts must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, an inquiry led by Republican state Del. Don Dwyer, Jr. was made as to whether or not the state house had the authority to impeach the state's attorney general. Dwyer and his supporters argued that the line in Article III of the state constitution, in which it stated that "the Maryland House of Delegates shall have the sole power of impeachment in all cases," gave the state legislative body that power. Others argued there was a conflict within the state constitution on this particular issue, pointing out another provision which said that the state attorney general "shall be subject to removal for incompetency, willful neglect of duty or misdemeanor in office, on conviction in a Court of Law."

Democratic House Speaker Michael Busch appointed a Democratic delegate as parliamentarian to interpret the rules for the state house. In response, Dwyer filed an ethics complaint against Busch for not delegating the position to a staff member, as was done in other legislatures. On Wednesday, March 31, 2010, the State House Judiciary Committee voted 15-5 against taking such action against Gansler, contending that his legal opinion "did not merit impeachment proceedings."

Montgomery County State's Attorney (1998-2006)

Gansler served as State's Attorney for Montgomery County, Maryland, from January 1999 to January 2007. During his tenure, his office prosecuted noteworthy cases including the Beltway snipers, John Muhammad, and Lee Boyd Malvo. In 1999, the office became the first in the country to use community prosecution, where "office staff was reorganized according to geographical lines. All attorneys, while maintaining their centrally located office, [were] assigned to one of the five police districts, with staffing proportionate to the number of cases in each of the districts." According to the Maryland Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention, Gansler "established the first domestic violence dockets, gang unit, internet crime unit, and Elder Abuse Task Force in Maryland."

In 2002, the Maryland Court of Appeals reprimanded him for "statements regarding a criminal defendant’s possibility of a plea of guilty, another criminal defendant’s confession, and his opinion as to the guilt of two criminal defendants" in several cases. He was the first elected Maryland State's Attorney to be reprimanded by the court and the first attorney in the state of Maryland to be reprimanded for violating Meritorious Claims and Contentions, 3.6 (Trial Publicity). Speaking to The Daily Record, Gansler's attorney said, "the court is placing unnecessary restraints upon prosecutors who need to be able to communicate with the community during investigations where public safety is in doubt."

Race background

Democratic nomination

Incumbent Martin O'Malley (D) was prevented by term limits from seeking a third consecutive term in office.

Former Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown officially launched his 2014 gubernatorial campaign on May 10, 2013. If he had won, Brown would have been the first lieutenant governor since the position was created in 1970 and first black candidate to be elected governor of Maryland. O'Malley, with whom Brown shared winning tickets in both the 2006 and 2010 elections, supported Brown as his successor. Brown's lieutenant gubernatorial running mate was Howard County Executive Ken Ulman. After formalizing their partnership for the 2014 campaign, the Brown-Ulman ticket received the endorsement of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD). A number of Cummings' congressional colleagues announced their support soon thereafter, as well as branches of SEIU, a labor union.

On July 17, 2013, another candidate entered the Democratic primary field: Del. Heather Mizeur. Mizeur would have been the first female governor of Maryland, as well as the country's first openly gay governor, if she had won the general election. Former state Attorney General Doug Gansler also sought the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014. On Oct. 14, 2013, Gansler selected Prince George County Delegate Jolene Ivey as his lieutenant gubernatorial running mate. After joining Gansler's campaign, Ivey stated, "I am proud to be the first African-American woman to run for lieutenant governor, and when we win, to be the first Democratic African-American woman to be lieutenant governor in our nation's history." Both Gansler and Mizeur lost in the Democratic primary on June 24, 2014.

Republican nomination

The Republican ticket of Larry Hogan and Boyd Rutherford emerged from a field of four potential tickets after the June 24 primary with 14-percent margin of victory. Hogan and Rutherford were both former appointees of former Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R).

Campaign finance

When the campaign finance reporting period ending on August 19, 2014, Hogan had $2.4 million in cash on hand. Brown reported $760,000. Hogan ran a publicly financed campaign, which meant a single payment of $2.6 million from the state's dedicated campaign finance fund. Hogan could not raise additional money in the campaign, while Brown was capable of raising additional funds because he did not use public financing. Brown reported $1.5 million in contributions from June 9 through August 19.

National figures in the race

President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and former Sen. Hillary Clinton made appearances supporting Brown's campaign. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared at three campaign events for Hogan through late October.

Outside groups also purchased ads during the general election campaign. The Democratic Governors Association and the Republican Governors Association invested $1.5 million on TV ads through late October. Michael Bloomberg's Independence USA PAC committed $500,000 to criticize Hogan's endorsement by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Photographed at high school party

In October 2013, one month after Gansler launched his 2014 campaign for governor, The Baltimore Sun published a photograph featuring the attorney general standing in the midst of a raucous high school party. The photo had been taken in June of that year at a high school graduation celebration, co-hosted and attended by Gansler's son, and found its way into the public domain via Instagram. It captures a scene containing evidence of underage alcohol consumption, with Gansler standing passively among the shirtless partygoers. The Sun's accompanying written report evokes a permissive attitude unbecoming of a top law enforcement official. It reminds readers of the second term AG's pronouncements about wanting to reduce underage drinking, using the photo as a visual aid to reinforce the notion Gansler was neglecting his duties in not shutting down a party where, by his own acknowledgement, "For better or worse, the reality is some kids drink alcohol while they're there." After the story broke, Gansler defended his lack of engagement as appropriate from a parental perspective, considering he and a group of other parents had established rules for the party in advance. Skirting a direct response to claims that his behavior was inappropriate from a law enforcement perspective, Gansler argued that it would have been outside his moral authority to stifle a relatively controlled demonstration of teenage debauchery, as depicted. One teenager who attended the Delaware beach house celebration that night told an interviewer from the Sun, "I don't remember much, but it was one of the best parties I've been to, hands down," simultaneously affirming Gansler's defense of his responsibilities as a parent within the situation and the critics' charges that Gansler actively ignored his responsibilities as an elected legal official.

Before the Sun published the photo, Gansler's candidacy had already suffered a string of embarrassments, mostly courtesy of the Washington Post, which kicked off its Gansler-exposé series in August when it revealed previous comments Gansler had made about the campaign of his opponent, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who was the early frontrunner for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. "I mean, right now, his campaign slogan is, ‘Vote for me, I want to be the first African American governor of Maryland,’" Gansler told some campaign volunteers, implying Brown was running on gimmick rather than substance. It followed with a number of reports detailing Gansler's questionable handling of state-issued vehicles, including a piece saying he ordered state troopers to violate traffic laws.

2010

See also: Maryland Attorney General election, 2010

Gansler won re-election as Maryland Attorney General unopposed in the November 2, 2010, general election. He was also unopposed in the primary.

A little over three months after he delivered a legal opinion recognizing "out-of-state marriages between same-sex couples" in Maryland, Gansler made the issue the highlight of his re-election campaign. Unlike any other politician within the state, he was quite vocal in declaring that a "prohibition of gay marriage is a clear violation of equal protection."
