Students chose this college, the College's leadership has delivered on their success, and our latest budget backs that up with a $2 million operating increase and funding to renovate Montgomery Hall.

Honored to have visited St. Mary's College — our state's public honors college and a top-five ranked liberal arts college in the nation.
When we took office, Charlotte Hall Veterans Home was in a state of complete disrepair and decay, and had a 1-Star rating.
We ended the contract with the previous operator, and our Board of Public Works brought in a new operator.
Now, Charlotte Hall has a 4-Star overall rating.
Thank you to the Board for their swift actions, Secretary Rothstein for his tremendous leadership, and the Charlotte Hall staff for their efforts. Let’s continue to get our veterans and their loved ones the service they deserve.
We’ve seen improvements in care delivery, operations, and resident outcomes, and it ranks among the top 25% of state veterans homes nationwide. We’ve set performance expectations, improved communications and oversight, increased leadership engagement, and strengthened the culture of accountability.
So we took action. We ended the contract with the previous operator, and our Board of Public Works approved an emergency contract to bring in a new operator.
Now, Charlotte Hall has a 4-Star overall rating.

This session, we faced extraordinary pressures, but together with the Maryland General Assembly, we delivered real results for people.
The passage of our administration’s priorities for this session is a testament to what’s possible in partnership with our legislative leaders.
The President wants to focus on funding his war of choice instead of the critical programs that children and families rely on.
But here in Maryland, we’re going to keep investing in our people.
🎒 My favorite part of school was also school.
Thanks again to the students and staff at Fort Washington Forest Elementary!
We used this legislative session to help those impacted, delivering results that help Marylanders with housing, employment, government assistance, utility costs, and more.
We are pushing back against the federal government and continuing to push forward for the people of our state.
This year has been exceptionally hard on Marylanders with the attacks from the Trump-Vance administration.

As the first point of contact for emergencies, 911 specialists provide an invaluable service to the public and help keep our first responders informed and prepared.
They’re true life-savers, and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication to leaving no one behind.
My administration will keep working with Attorney General Brown, local leaders, and Maryland’s federal congressional delegation to ensure full compliance with the law and to protect the well-being of Marylanders.
Those concerns deserve to be fully heard before irreversible construction moves ahead.
We’ve been clear from the start: this project raises grave concerns for Washington County — from environmental damage, to water and sewer capacity, to emergency services, to the loss of economic opportunity, to the broader lack of transparency around this process.
Today, a federal court granted a preliminary injunction halting construction on the proposed ICE Facility in Washington County. This ruling is a major and welcome step forward.
The courage of Marylanders changes and saves lives.
I am proud to sign the Vax Act and the Jillian and Lindsay Wiener Short-Term Rental Safety Act into law.
Thank you to the Board, our Speaker and Senate President, and Delegates Bonnie Cullison and Jennifer White Holland, and Senators Dawn Gile and Brian Feldman for their hard work and dedication towards making a more affordable future for us all.

The future of job growth, wealth creation, and economic prosperity is quantum.
That’s why in Maryland, we want to be the global capital of quantum computing.
Governor Wes Moore signs the Vax Act to decouple the state’s vaccine authority from the federal government.
Maryland’s vaccine policy will be led by science – not internet conspiracy theories.
We will protect our people, no matter how they voted in the last election.
Thank you to the Wiener family for their advocacy and joining us today. Because of their courage and willingness to fight for families they will never know, they have saved lives.
The Jillian and Lindsay Wiener Short-Term Rental Safety Act – sponsored by Delegate Foley and Senator Feldman – requires fire detection and prevention equipment in every short-term rental, mandates annual inspections, and ensures accountability.
The Vax Act decouples the state’s vaccine authority from the federal government. Our vaccine policy will be led by science – not internet conspiracy theories.
Today, I will be signing over 140 bills, including two bills centered on protecting our people: The Vax Act and the Jillian and Lindsay Wiener Short-Term Rental Safety Act.

Confetti falls from the ceiling of the State House onto legislators to mark the end of the legislative session.
Yesterday marked the end of another successful legislative session.
Legislators across our state worked alongside one another to deliver results for Marylanders. I look forward to reviewing the legislation from their session and moving Maryland forward.
We’re pushing every lever at our disposal to put more money in people's pockets and holding big companies accountable.
I’m thankful that Democrats and Republicans in Annapolis have come together to deliver this win for Marylanders.
