Governor Hogan wrote an op-ed in USA Today, arguing the “best way to advance civil rights and equal opportunity for all is to better equip police officers with the tools they need to secure safer communities and to hold violent criminals accountable for the havoc they wreak on their neighbors.”
According to Governor Hogan, “Every American deserves to be safe from violent criminality, regardless of what neighborhood they happen to grow up in. The fact that basic security is often a luxury that only the wealthy in our country can afford is a grave and shameful injustice.”
While gas prices are skyrocketing across the country, Governor Hogan is working in a bipartisan way to secure relief for Marylanders at the pump.
Governor Hogan announced a bipartisan agreement with legislative leaders to suspend the gas tax for 30 days. This comes after Governor Hogan passed the largest tax cut in Maryland history with near unanimous support last year.
In a statement announcing the deal, Governor Hogan also reiterated his call for the “Biden administration to increase domestic energy production to help lower costs.” Last week, Governor Hogan joined a statement of Republican governors, urging President Biden “to reverse his policies and restore America’s energy independence” so “we can protect our national energy security and sell to our friends rather than buy from our enemies.”
This significant gas tax holiday agreement shows once again how Maryland continues to set an example for the rest of the country on how to put aside partisan politics and work across the aisle to deliver results in times of crisis.
A Washington Post op-ed from a Maryland appellate attorney highlights how Governor Hogan has been setting a national example on judicial appointments. Unlike President Trump and President Biden, Governor Hogan has nominated a historic slate of diverse judges by seeking out qualified candidates — not limiting appointments to candidates with only specific backgrounds.
