Maryland Democrats

Dozens of supporters gathered this week to stand behind Gov. Wes Moore’s nominee for a powerful state board, Latina business owner Yolanda Maria Martinez.

Gov. Wes Moore’s first spending plan essentially ends one of his predecessor’s biggest legislative victories.

Maryland has seen applications for concealed carry permits skyrocket since U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year struck down New York’s higher standard to get one, which was similar to Maryland’s.

If approved by both chambers and Gov. Wes Moore, Maryland voters would decide on state constitutional amendment guaranteeing ‘fundamental right to reproductive freedom’ next year.

The bill regulates the growth and sale of recreational cannabis statewide.

Measure offered tax credits to businesses to participate in pilot program that offered employees four-day work week with no cut in pay.

The Attorney General's office already does investigations, and supporters say letting them do any prosecutions is next logical step.

Maryland Republicans are pushing to codify the Right to Learn Act, which includes BOOST, a program that provides funds for low-income families to send their children to private and parochial schools.

If passed by the legislature and approved by voters statewide, the amendment would be the highest form of protection for reproductive rights, particularly for abortions.

Democratic Gov. Wes Moore's executive order requires that within 60 days, the Maryland Department of Transportation will report to the governor the number of firms certified as Minority Business Enterprises, broken down by jurisdiction, race, and gender.
