As an engineer, Maryland Lt. Governor Aruna Miller understands the importance of funding scientific research for the future of our country.

That’s why she brought together 15 other Democratic LGs from across the country to sign a letter to the White House demanding that Trump stop defunding our nation’s critical research institutions.

Will you co-sign the letter to show him that the American people demand that scientific research be protected?

Government-funded scientific research is crucial for developing treatments for diseases, defense against our adversaries, and staying at the forefront of innovation.

Defunding that research threatens to undo our progress and prevent critical research, making us less safe. But that’s precisely what the current administration is doing.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are pulling BILLIONS in government funding for universities and research institutions across the country in the name of “efficiency.” But we know the truth: these are petty partisan attacks that pave the way for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

Scientific research benefits us all, not just the billionaires. Yet the administration is trying to shut it down. We can’t let that happen. Will you add your name to our petition today and help us stand up for our world-class science and innovation? Your voice matters.

Thank you,
