Where Kathy stands
Making Maryland affordable again
More than 300 tax and fee hikes in four years. Kathy has voted against them and keeps making the case that Maryland is pricing out the people who built it.
- 300+
- Tax and fee hikes in four years
- 2nd
- Most expensive state to raise a child
- ~70,000
- Marylanders who moved to Florida, 2012 – 2022
Maryland has become a state people leave. Not because they stopped loving it — because they can no longer afford it. Groceries, housing, childcare, utilities, and the tax bill on top of all of it have made ordinary family budgets impossible to balance.
Kathy has watched this happen from inside the chamber where it was decided. Governor Moore and the supermajority have celebrated the largest budget in Maryland history while families cut back, seniors delay retirement, and small businesses close. The people paying for it are the ones with no room left to give.
Her position has not moved: Maryland does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Until Annapolis is willing to say that out loud, the hikes keep coming and the moving trucks keep leaving.
“Families are tightening their belts while politicians in Annapolis have imposed more than 300 tax and fee hikes in just the last four years.”
What Kathy is fighting for
- Oppose new taxes and fees on families and small businesses
- Cut wasteful spending before asking taxpayers for more
- Make Maryland a state seniors can afford to retire in
- Stop budgeting on the assumption that residents cannot leave
