2022 MD Governor's race: on Homeland Security


Dan Cox: I strongly believe that veterans need to be supported

The Republican candidate carries a business card with a handy mnemonic device--his M-I-S-S-I-O-N--that spells out his goals. "M" stands for more jobs and less taxes and regulations. "N" stands for "Never forget our veterans" and emblemizes the importance of supporting the state's Department of Veterans Affairs. "My son is in the Army, and I have a lot of veteran friends who come from veteran families," Cox said. "So, I strongly believe that veterans need to be supported."

Doug Gansler: Expand programs and housing for homeless veterans

Homelessness does not discriminate. But veterans face some unique challenges when it comes to finding safe and affordable housing. Returning from deployments abroad, they often confront the invisible wounds of war that directly correlate with homelessness. If we are ever going to eradicate veteran homelessness, we must expand programs and housing supervised by the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs.

We must make better efforts to connect our veterans with training, employment opportunities and all of the resources that Maryland can offer. We must help disabled veterans get hired, including through employer tax subsidies for disabled veterans. We will make it easier for veterans to put their talent to work by supporting veteran-owned small businesses and enacting hiring incentives for returning veterans.

Wes Moore: Expand and improve quality of care for veterans

Work with the Department of Veterans Affairs to expand and improve quality of care and expedite claims so Veterans can get access to the care they need.

Better meet the needs of women Veterans by improving access to specialized health care, and ensuring programs supporting the transition to civilian life address the unique needs of women.

Ensure Maryland delivers the job training and educational resources needed for Veterans to obtain employment and compete in the private sector.
