Governor Hogan delivered a keynote address at the Jeju Forum for Peace and
Prosperity in South Korea. This international forum aims to bring together
world leaders to discuss how to advance the cause of peace and prosperity.
Previous speakers to this global conference include President Bill Clinton, UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev.
Following are excerpts from the address:
On the Future of Freedom and Democracy- “Today, we are once again at such a
pivotal moment in world history. Russia has invaded a peaceful neighbor in
Ukraine. North Korea and Iran are emerging nuclear powers and reckless
aggressors. China threatens Taiwan and seeks to dominate Asia and the world.
Many are concerned about whether the free world still has the will to lead.
To those who again doubt the free world, I would say do not bet against
freedom and democracy. People all across the world still yearn to live in
freedom. President Zelensky and the brave people of Ukraine have reminded the
world of the power of the human heart that yearns to be free. Australia’s stand
for economic sovereignty shows us that power cannot be sustained on coercion
alone. The historic success of America’s development and deployment of COVID-19
vaccines affirms that innovation and prosperity cannot be dictated by any
centralized state.”
On Authoritarianism- “Yet, even as we remain confident in the values of the
free world, we must not fail to recognize that we are at a fragile and
dangerous moment in history.
Authoritarianism is most dangerous when challenged and on the decline.”
On American Values- “We want leaders who can discuss and debate, with as much
civility as passion. And with a view to persuade, not to intimidate. To
encourage, not demonize or defeat.
We believe that free and fair trade can be mutually beneficial. We want to
work together with our allies for peace and prosperity. We still believe that
everyone deserves a shot at their dreams.
We still believe in a nation where an immigrant born on a chicken farm in
Jeollanam-do province in Korea can grow up to become the very first Korean-born
First Lady of any state in American history.”

targeted tax relief

incentivizing home ownership, public service participation, and job
opportunities, initiatingprograms

New Report Shows How Governor Hogan’s Pro-Growth Policies Took Maryland From
Record Deficits to Record Reserves
<[link removed]>
New data released by Maryland’s Democratic Comptroller shows how Governor
Hogan has achieved a remarkable turnaround of the state’s fiscal health in his
tenure.
In 2014, Governor Hogan inherited a $5.1 billion structural budget deficit
after his predecessor raised taxes 43 consecutive times. Now, after eight years
of pro-growth policies and $4.7 billion in tax cuts, Maryland will close the
2022 fiscal year with a record reserve fund of $4.4 billion and a revenue
surplus of $2 billion in its general fund.
While Washington’s big spending policies continue to produce crushing
inflation on American families, Governor Hogan has restored fiscal discipline
while growing the economy and investing in key priorities.

The massive spending from the Democratic monopoly in Washington has helped
create crushing levels of inflation.
President Biden should be reversing course, not taking a victory lap on yet
another big spending bill from Congress.[link removed]

Today, I joined with 21 of my fellow Republican Governors in writing to
President Biden to express our strong disagreement with his student debt
transfer plan.
This is a bad idea that will continue to raise inflation at the worst possible
time.
