On Crime: Increase penalties for using guns to commit violent crimes

On behalf of all the people who are sick and tired of all of the senseless violence, I'm calling on the leaders in both parties, in both houses, to immediately pass and send to my desk the Violent Firearms Offender Act to increase penalties for those who use guns to commit violent crimes, and the Judicial Transparency Act, because the public has a right to know about the sentences judges are giving or not giving to the most violent offenders.

On Social Security: Time to finally pass the Retirement Tax Elimination Act

Our state's sky-high retirement taxes remain the one area where we are still not effectively competing with other states. The time has come for the General Assembly to finally pass the Retirement Tax Elimination Act to eliminate every single penny of state retirement taxes for everyone, so that Marylanders who have spent their lives working and raising a family here, and contributing so much to our state, can afford to retire here in Maryland near their kids and grandkids.

On Tax Reform: We've cut taxes, tolls, fees by more than $2.7 billion

We repealed the Rain Tax mandate and eliminated or reformed more than 14,000 job-killing regulations. We cut tolls at every single facility in the state--the first time tolls had been cut in Maryland in 50 years. We passed the RELIEF Act of 2021--the largest tax cut in state history--nearly unanimously, which provided $1.45 billion in urgently needed tax relief and economic stimulus. We have now cut taxes, tolls, and fees seven years in a row by more than $2.7 billion.
