Since January 2025, Maryland has lost almost 30K federal jobs. The most of any State.
The federal bill that was passed in 2925 required States to pay a larger share of necessary programs like SNAP and Medicaid increasing State budget costs.
What would you do in that scenario?
Since Wes Moore took office, Maryland’s unemployment doubled from 2.2% to 4.4%, the state faced a $2.95B budget shortfall, lawmakers approved $1.6B in new revenue measures, and Maryland lost 18,700 jobs year-over-year. These are measurable declines.
