End police vaccine mandate and increase police pay

[On COVID vaccines]: "It's an honor to run to bring back sanity, to end the jabs for jobs, to end the mandates to make sure our police officers are not chased off the job by these jab mandates," said Cox. "What we're looking at is focused on ending the mandates, restoring the constitution for every individual, making sure bodily integrity and medical health freedom is there for everyone, ending the government overreach, making sure our police are backed and protected. I'd like to double police pay. Source: WJLA on 2022 Maryland Gubernatorial race , May 30, 2022

Hold dangerous criminals accountable with stiff jail terms

From defending our Second Amendment and supporting the Thin Blue Line, to attacking crime and human trafficking by passing sweeping legislation to hold dangerous criminals accountable with stiff jail terms, to opposing the lockdowns and draconian Executive Orders destroying businesses while illegally limiting safe and inexpensive healthcare remedies to the most vulnerable, Dan Cox has and is fighting for the rule of law in our State Government as an elected member of the House of Delegates.
