Larry Hogan in 2019 Governor's State of the State speeches
On Education:
Record high funding for public schools: opportunity for all
For the fifth year in row, my budget provides historic, record-high funding for our schools.We have invested $32 billion in K-12 education. More than half of our entire capital budget goes toward education. This isn't about politics; this is
about our kids and their futures--making sure that every single child in Maryland has the same opportunity to get a world-class education regardless of what neighborhood they happen to grow up in.

On Energy & Oil:
Clean energy; green jobs
We pushed for landmark legislation that cemented our position as a national and international leader in combating greenhouse gas emissions. We expanded the Climate Change Commission and implemented clean air standards that are stronger than 48 other
states and nearly twice as strong as the Paris Accord recommendations. This year let's work together to enact the "Clean Cars Act" and to support clean and renewable energy solutions and green energy jobs.

On Government Reform:
nonpartisan redistricting reform to end gerrymandering
In November, a panel of federal judges unanimously ruled that the boundary lines of Maryland's 6th congressional district are unconstitutional. For the past three years, our administration has pushed for comprehensive, nonpartisan redistricting reform
that would remove partisan politics from the redistricting process. Listen to the will of the people of Maryland and finally bring this bill to the floor of both chambers for an up or down vote.
