My Transform Maryland plan will unlock potential for Marylanders who feel stuck or have been held back by bias. By investing in creating paths to good-paying jobs, we can create opportunity and ensure people can achieve economic security and dignity.
Enjoyed holiday shopping for my girls this #SmallBusinessSaturday at Amano and @tabletopdc in Takoma Park! As someone who started and built his companies in Maryland, I’ll always be a champion for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Today, Maryland has one of the highest unemployment rates, yet there are over 100,000 open jobs in good-paying fields like tech, health care, manufacturing, & skilled trades. As governor, I'll ensure every Marylander can get the skills to work in one of these emerging fields.
In a recent Axios survey, over 53% of people said they would change their career if they could. My Transform Maryland plan provides training and breaks down the barriers that make it harder for people to work and achieve economic security.
From Baltimore City to the Eastern Shore to Western Maryland, our next governor needs to create hope and opportunity for everyone. My Transform Maryland plan will create over 250,000 good-paying jobs, raise wages, and invest in child care and transportation for all Marylanders.
There’s no better place for good conversation and community than @takomabevco. Loved the blueberry smoothie, and it was great meeting folks in Takoma Park. See you on the trail!
Had a great time buying my wife flowers at Park Florist! I talked to Jeanne and learned about the issues her business experienced during the pandemic, including the farm-to-shop supply chain. Our next governor needs to provide businesses with the tools to recover, hire, & thrive.
Thank you, @delmaggie43, for your years of dedicated service to our city, our state, and our people.
You blazed trails. You are a beacon of hope, and your landmark achievements, especially in marriage equality and improving education, will be felt for years to come.
Del. Maggie McIntosh's planned retirement is the latest in a string of departures in the Maryland General Assembly that will contribute to a significant number of new faces starting in 2023. https://t.co/DWmSLh2eBx
There's so much to love about my city. We need a governor who'll be a cheerleader for Baltimore's successes and work with the city to unlock its potential.
Baltimore City is doing the right thing— they're investing in people. As governor, I'll be a partner to Baltimore as we invest in our city, workforce, & create opportunity for all Marylanders. I've raised my family in Baltimore. I started my businesses in Baltimore.
The Mayor’s Office of Employment Development will receive $30 million to fund workforce development programs, while $25 million will go to creating a recovery fund for ailing small businesses, nonprofits and artists.

I'm thinking of her and all the educators who make it possible for our children to have brighter futures. We need to support our educators and ESPs to ensure our children can succeed. (2/2)
Happy American Education Week! Had a great time talking to Ivory Smith, President of the Worcester Education Support Personnel Association, and Marie Wells-Suznavick, a high school teacher, about the issues educators and ESPs face on the Shore. My mother is an educator, so (1/2)
I'm proud of the funds our federal delegation has brought in to fix up Maryland's roads and ports, expand broadband, and clean up the Chesapeake Bay among many other things! As governor, I'll continue building on this progress and create an inclusive economy for all.
The bill to be signed by President Biden today is just one measure that could send substantial aid to Maryland. Bridges, child care, and a new way of handling some 911 calls are among many areas where money could go. https://t.co/AQ39M833Av
Equity is at the heart of my life’s work. I’ve spent the last 20 years breaking down systemic barriers and building paths into good-paying jobs. Now, I’m running for Governor to ensure every Marylander has access to opportunity, economic security, and dignity.
My Transform Maryland agenda offers the most comprehensive plan for making child care affordable and accessible. We’ve talked about this problem long enough. Now is the time to deliver on what families need to Make it Easier to Work. Read my full plan here https://t.co/6cXaTlW7Ws
We need the ability to fire cops quickly when someone isn’t good. Until we do that, we'll still have bad cops on the streets. We'll still have systemic problems that affect our society.

Today, I celebrate our veterans who have served and sacrificed so honorably for our country and all the military families whose sacrifice is often unrecognized. I salute you.
People are concerned about making ends meet, putting food on the table, and keeping a roof over their heads. We need to help more Marylanders move into good-paying jobs that will help us create generational wealth and provide economic security.
In one of the richest states in the richest country in the world, we can guarantee everyone a pathway to a good-paying career. My Transform Maryland plan will provide free skills development while earning a living wage, break down barriers to work, and create opportunity for all.
Maryland state government should make a big investment in career training in areas like tech and healthcare, says @MikeforMD.
We talked about the gubernatorial candidate's plan for a new program: https://t.co/EDsfXhG4fR
