Education

Protect and expand school nutrition programs to provide meals for every child in public schools because a child who is hungry cannot learn. Learn more

Ensure robust support for multilingual learners and English language acquisition programs — immigrant children and children of immigrants strengthen our schools and our community, and they deserve a real chance to thrive from day one. Learn more

Launch Teach for Maryland — a fast-track pathway for qualified displaced workers, delivered at scale to meet the enormous need for teachers, particularly in high-need subjects and schools. Learn more

Access to publicly funded pre-K for every family in Maryland so every child starts with a real foundation. Learn more

Support community schools as hubs connecting families to community resources for housing assistance, health care, and childcare. Learn more

Include meaningful support for caregivers of school-age children so families can afford summer programs, camps, and aftercare. Learn more

Build for the Future with investment in Montgomery County’s building trades programs, expanding program capacity, integrating training on universal design and sustainability, and creating a future-ready workforce. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Build Maryland into a national leader in green energy technology — manufacturing, storage, grid technology, and efficiency — by pairing investment in clean energy infrastructure with workforce training. Learn more

Enable more households and businesses to generate their own power by expanding incentives for rooftop solar and wind installation. Learn more

Healthcare

Subsidize access to the Maryland health exchange for participants in state incubators and small business programs. Learn more

Housing

Require that housing assistance programs and renter protections are accessible in multiple languages, so that immigrant families can access the protections they are legally entitled to. Learn more

Reform tenant screening to remove barriers that unfairly exclude working people — teachers, nurses, young adults, voucher holders, and immigrant families. Learn more

Enable counties to require landlords to cite a specific reason before evicting a tenant; “no cause” evictions destabilize our families, schools, and community. Learn more

Strengthen habitability and repair enforcement: mandatory timelines, escalating penalties, and real retaliation protections for tenants whose landlords who don’t follow the law. Learn more

Fast-track permitting and incentives for builders who incorporate universal design or build solar-ready homes — because the development we want deserves to move faster than the development we don’t. Learn more

Provide Montgomery County with the flexibility and funding to build more housing of more types so that individuals and families at all stages of life have dignified living spaces. Learn more

Immigration

Expand community schools programs and public health clinics to serve as trusted access points for immigrant families, offering legal information, health services, and connections to state programs. Learn more

Ensure immigrant Marylanders continue to have full access to public schools, universities, and essential social services — and replace with state dollars any federal funding that is withdrawn as a tool of intimidation. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

Strengthen transit connections to our neighbors in Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia — because our regional economy does not stop at the state line. Learn more

Invest in east-west and north-south rail connections using Maryland’s existing legacy rail corridors and rights-of-way — linking communities that are currently isolated from the state’s economic and civic life. Learn more

Prioritize transit investments that reduce racial, geographic, and economic segregation — ensuring that access to jobs, hospitals, schools, libraries, and government is not determined by ZIP code or car ownership. Learn more

Require heavy users to fund the grid infrastructure improvements their demand necessitates. Learn more

Connect Maryland’s counties through rapid electric bus service, reducing reliance on private vehicles and lowering transportation costs for working families. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

Establish and expand apprenticeship programs that strengthen Maryland’s economic competitiveness with training in the skills needed to build satellites and NextGen powerplants. Learn more
