Have to say I'm liking our Governor more every day. Yesterday at his press conference he prayed. He read a psalm. It was needed . He also asked people to put their flags out. Our entire street had them out yesterday . A great sight.

The current times do show you what our representatives are made of.

SAME! He is doing a FANTASTIC job in my opinion! It's not going to be quick or easy to navigate this unknown however his entire team is communicating daily.

I have to say the same about MD's governor Hogan. I was just really indifferent towards him in the past, but now when I see him I get the feeling that he is really looking out for our safety, able to take care of us, and competent,

I don’t live in New York but I like listening to NY Gov. Cuomo. I don’t know how popular he is in NY but he is a calming source of reason in regards to the virus in his state (in my opinion).

From everything I've read, deciding at the last minute to call off Ohio's primary didn't go too well for him. I followed that in the news: on, off, on, off well into the Monday night before it. And now of course it's in the courts to be decided.

At first I wasn't too sure about him during this whole thing. I do NOT agree one bit with the primary call off but for the most part, he is doing a good job.

@Travone ..... Not a fan of his BUT he has impressed me so far. Now, if he would only extend the deadline for the state income tax like the IRS ask I would be happier.

Love both Govenor DeWine and Dr. Amy Acton with the Ohio Department of Health. They are both doing an excellent job with this.

It's my understanding that the reason for the prayer and the Psalm yesterday was because the first Ohio death from this virus was a friend of his.

I wanted to add that one of the reasons Ohio has taken quicker steps to try and contain this is because we are sister state to Hubei Province, China so there were a lot of people going back and forth between Ohio and there.

EllieMuncaster,

I am a native of Maryland but no longer live there. When this pandemic threat started to unspool, in my estimation, Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland was the first person -- on any level of government -- to emerge as a true leader.

Governor Hogan's actions set the standard for those who soon followed behind. I don't believe he has prayed, but he showed innovative thinking, guts and initiative first.

@golding76

I agree about Governor Hogan.

I'm in Southern Maryland and, like you, never paid much attention to him. However, I feel he really is trying to think ahead and do all he can to help.

He's not on TV much, but I make a point to listen to him when he is. And, I've bookmarked the site where they give his updated info.

Believe he has our best interests and safety top of mind.

I heard your gov interviewed and he left a good impression. I also liked J. Kasich a lot. Big state. Glad you're getting good guidance.
