The inaugural committee is not limited to the $6,000 maximum contribution that candidates in Maryland races can receive.

Financial disclosure is required for donations for the governor's inaugural festivities in Maryland under a five-year-old law.

Former Gov. Larry Hogan was the first Maryland governor to report donations for his inauguration. Hogan raised nearly $1.7 million for his second inauguration in 2019.
