George P. Mahoney (1901-1989) had unsuccessfully run for public office in Maryland numerous times. In 1966 he ran for Governor under the campaign slogan of, "Your Home is Your Castle - Protect It". This was a clear statement of Mahoney's opposition to open housing (the banning of racial discrimination in the rental and sale of housing) as well as other civil rights legislation and became the focus of his campaign.
