ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore released the following statement on President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address:
President Biden has laid out a clear vision for the future. Together, we will build on the historic progress this administration has already made by growing the economy, strengthening our democracy, and safeguarding the basic freedoms we cherish.
That work has already begun. This president has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to uplifting all Marylanders, no matter their background or zip code. He has worked to protect reproductive freedom, create good-paying jobs, make our communities safer, invest in critical infrastructure, fight the climate crisis, lower costs, and support our service members and veterans.
Maryland has a full partner in President Biden and Vice President Harris. We stand united in our work to reach across party lines and come up with lasting solutions that deliver for the people we serve. And together, we are leaving no one behind.
I have never been more optimistic about the promise of our future. But the future we seek is only possible if we work together. I believe that we must move in partnership if we want to meet this critical moment in our history. The president’s speech tonight reaffirmed my deep belief that we can.
