Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and wife Yumi Hogan
Gov. Larry Hogan (R-Maryland) credited his South Korean wife Yumi Hogan — and not the federal government — with the statewide acquisition of over a half-million coronavirus test kits. Hogan announced the $9 million purchase from South Korean suppliers at a news conference in Annapolis Monday.
Yumi, Maryland’s first lady, is a Korean native who emigrated to the U.S. in 1994.
During the conference, Larry shared that Yumi had used her native language to help secure the shipment and negotiate a deal. He noted that Yumi had been on the phone in the middle of countless nights to finalize the deal.
He dubbed the covert 22-day mission, “Operation Enduring Friendship.”
