Larry Hogan in 2018 Governor's State of the State speeches


On Crime: Crack down on violent crime with truth-in-sentencing laws

We enacted tough anti-gang legislation, including a new Maryland RICO statute. This year, let's crack down on those violent criminals who use guns to commit crimes by passing tougher minimum sentences. And pass truth-in-sentencing legislation to require that repeat violent criminals serve their full sentences without the possibility of suspension, parole, or probation. Let's strengthen Maryland's gang statutes and RICO law to help take down these drug dealing criminal gang enterprises.

On Energy & Oil: Combat greenhouse gas emissions; grow green jobs

We pushed for landmark legislation to cement our state's position as a national and international leader in combating greenhouse gas emissions. We expanded the Climate Change Commission. We enacted the Clean Water Commerce Act, the Clean Cars Act, and several other bills to protect our environment and to grow clean energy investment and green jobs. And we enacted clean air standards which are stronger than 48 other states and nearly twice as strong as the Paris accord recommendations.

On Government Reform: End partisan gerrymandering; make term limits

Help us put the issue of term limits on the ballot this year for the people of Maryland to decide this issue for themselves in November. And in order to uphold the public trust and to truly represent the interests of all the people we were elected to serve, let's put partisanship and self-interest aside and join together with the overwhelming majority of Marylanders to end the practice of partisan gerrymandering in Maryland.
