Maryland's Governor. On a mission to #LeaveNoOneBehind.

Our record on public safety is clear: 📉 On pace for lowest homicide rate in 40+ years 📉 Non-fatal shootings down 50%+ 📉 Juvenile homicides down nearly 40% 📉 Baltimore homicides at lowest since records began in 1975 Our partnerships are producing real results for Marylanders.

I've warned that Donald Trump and Republicans across the country are working to rig the system and weaken voting rights. Today, the Maryland General Assembly took action to pass a constitutional amendment that, if ratified, will ensure that Marylanders have the final say over their representation.

"Service United" is a call to action for all of our nation’s governors to create and expand paid service programs that meet community needs – while also helping young people build critical skills they need to succeed in their future.

Maryland is the best place in the world to change the world – and I’m asking every student – including everyone disenrolled from Howard University – to look to the University System of Maryland as your path forward.

Today I announced that Maryland is stepping up for Maryland residents recently disenrolled by Howard University. We will be expediting admissions support to University System of Maryland institutions and offering an $800 credit for impacted students.

Governor Wes Moore speaks at a table with his name plate in front of him. Text reads: "Fast-tracking USM admissions support and providing $800 in credit for Maryland students disenrolled by Howard University."

If you're one of the students who were just disenrolled from Howard University, Maryland has your back. We're working to provide expedited admission support to University System of Maryland schools, explore financial aid options, and provide an $800 credit for impacted students.

Every Marylander deserves fresh, healthy food, no matter their zip code. We’ve announced nearly $4 million in grants to organizations all across the state to help grocery stores, farmers markets, and food hubs bring fresh food to communities that need it most.

Thanks to funding from the ENOUGH Initiative, students are spending their summer at Fox Automotive in Glen Burnie, learning and building valuable real-world skill sets that will let them connect to jobs and certifications that employers look for.

Every room that our children are in, our children are not in that room because of someone's kindness, but because they belong there. Jack and Jill of America, Inc. have advocated for our children and the promotion of children’s rights for decades – and Dawn and I are so proud to stand with them.

This summer, we’ve helped feed over 584,000 Maryland students through our SUN Bucks program. No child should ever go hungry, and I’m grateful to the Maryland Department of Human Services for their great work. Read more: https://bit.ly/4whhZVK
