ANNAPOLIS, MD - On May 2, 2025, Maryland Governor Wes Moore released the following statement on the Trump-Vance Administration’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget proposal:
“T?he president’s budget proposal would kill jobs, hollow out health care and public education, and accelerate the reckless assault on Maryland’s economy that started on January 20. This isn’t fiscal stewardship; it’s fiscal sabotage. This is not taking care of our people; it’s cruelty. And the most vulnerable among us would pay the highest price.
“As the home to more than sixty federal facilities and 260,000 federal workers, Maryland is uniquely susceptible to these thoughtless and politically-driven cuts. And the entire nation is suffering from both Elon Musk’s DOGE project and an ideological and meritless trade war. Our country’s economy has stalled, stoking legitimate fears of a recession that would hurt every Marylander and every American.
“But in the face of chaos, Team Maryland remains committed to leading with clarity, calm, and courage. Congress holds the power of the purse, and I will continue to work alongside our partners in the congressional delegation to push back against these cuts, which neither put the needs of the people first nor uplift the aspirations of Marylanders.”
