Annapolis, MD – May 8, 2014 – Republican candidate for governor of Maryland today issued the following statement on last night’s Democratic gubernatorial debate:
“Last night's gubernatorial debate proved what many of us have already known for months: The Democratic candidates are out of touch with the struggles and harsh economic realities that Marylanders of all walks of life face every day. All three candidates actively promoted a job-killing and regressive economic agenda that hiked 40 consecutive taxes, hurting the state's low-income and middle class families, and causing a 75 percent increase in unemployment and a mass exodus of 31,000 taxpayers.
“The cold hard fact is that Maryland simply cannot afford four more years of the same policies that Mr. Brown, Mr. Gansler, and Ms. Mizeur represent. Marylanders need jobs, need to keep more of their hard earned money, and need leadership that will restore integrity to state government. None of these candidates will usher in a new era of growth and economic stability that we deserve.
Marylanders demand change; and that's exactly what we'll give them in November.
