Former Governor, now Senate candidate, recently outlined his pro-taxpayer agenda, emphasizing the importance of providing economic relief to hardworking Maryland families. During his tenure as governor, he focused on cutting taxes every year, resulting in savings of $4.7 billion for Marylanders. He highlighted the significance of tax relief, especially in the face of rising inflation affecting essentials like housing, food, and childcare.
The candidate criticized his opponent, the Prince George's County Executive, for advocating a tax-and-spend agenda that includes raising Social Security taxes, potentially costing Marylanders billions. He pledged to work across party lines to make life more affordable, proposing measures such as expanding child tax credits and earned income tax credits for working families.
Addressing the housing affordability crisis, the former governor emphasized the need for urgent action, citing his administration's efforts in building affordable housing units and making investments in workforce housing. He also highlighted his plans to push for affordable homeownership by eliminating excessive regulations and supporting bipartisan policies to increase housing availability.
In the healthcare sector, the candidate vowed to bring down healthcare prices by promoting competition, transparency, and choice, while holding middlemen accountable for price gouging. He criticized the Biden administration's Medicare Advantage cuts and pledged to fight against them in the Senate.
Education affordability was another key focus, with the former governor highlighting his efforts to prevent tuition hikes and expand scholarships for community college students. He expressed support for school choice programs and proposed measures to provide families with resources for quality education.
Lastly, the candidate emphasized the need to rein in government spending, regulations, and mandates that drive up the cost of essentials like energy and food. He highlighted his record of turning a deficit into a surplus as governor and pledged to advocate for responsible fiscal policies in the Senate.
The former governor stressed that his agenda is rooted in common sense, not partisan politics, and vowed to work across party lines to deliver results for Maryland. He called for a balanced approach to address the economic challenges facing Maryland families and criticized the gridlock in Washington, emphasizing the need for action over rhetoric.
