Get StartedEveryone deserves to be safe and secure in their persons and their property, and we rely on our police officers, firefighters, and EMTs to be there to respond whenever the call comes. These public servants should always have all the support they need. We also need to take care of our correctional officers, parole and probation agents, Natural Resource Police, school resource officers, and all others charged in Maryland with protecting and serving.

Fair, predictable rules so farmers can plan long term and are not pushed out by sudden policy changes or rising costs. Learn more
Tax and grant programs that reward working farms for producing food, conserving soil and water, and keeping land in agriculture. Learn more
Easier access to capital for equipment, infrastructure, and on‑farm processing so farmers capture more of the value they create. Learn more
Supporting local childcare providers so they stay open. Learn more
Targeting assistance to middle-class families who earn too much to qualify for subsidies yet still struggle to pay. Learn more
Fast-tracking solar, storage and grid updates. Learn more
Expanding supply to reduce scarcity and price spikes. Learn more
We need to invest in solutions that increase our energy supply quickly. Installing solar and batteries in our homes and businesses can be done now. At the other end of the spectrum, new nuclear plants and long-distance transmission lines can take a decade or more to finish. Not only are they very costly, families wait far too long to see the economic benefits. Learn more
Focus new housing in existing communities near transit, jobs and town centers — where infrastructure already exists and families can lower both housing and transportation costs. Learn more
Preserve existing affordable housing and support rehabilitation, because keeping a home affordable is often faster and cheaper than replacing it. Learn more
Support more middle-housing options in appropriate established communities. Learn more
Respect our Urban-Rural Demarcation Line (URDL) and oppose expanding major development beyond it. Growth should come through infill, redevelopment, and appropriately scaled housing inside the URDL — not through more sprawl into farms and open space. Learn more
Support renter stability and targeted homeowner relief so longtime residents are not pushed out as costs rise. Maryland’s housing challenge includes both affordability and displacement pressure, especially for lower-income households. Learn more
Fast-track affordable and mixed-income projects that are ready to build, while requiring coordination with roads, schools, water, sewer, and transit capacity. Learn more
Expand training, apprenticeships, and technical assistance for new and beginning farmers. Learn more
