'Shall I Stay or Shall I Go?'

Can Maryland's Economic Exodus Be Stopped?

By Ed Hale for Governor

The fact of the matter is, Wes Moore is failing Maryland while running for president on our dime, and if Republicans nominate the wrong candidate, we're going to hand him four more years to finish the job.

If Wes Moore were to win re-election, as unthinkable as that is, Maryland would experience an exodus the likes of which the "Land of Pleasant Living" has never witnessed. 

Look at your utility bill. Really look at it. Maryland has systematically shut down or phased out reliable power plants without replacing them with anything dependable. The result? We're buying power off the open market at peak prices and passing the bill directly to every single Marylander. Utility costs are now 12% above the national average and climbing. Meanwhile, Calvert Cliffs, the only nuclear plant in the state, one of the most reliable sources of clean energy in the nation, sits at two reactors when it should have three. The proposal to expand it was shelved a decade ago and Moore hasn't pressed hard enough to make it a reality. Instead, he's doubled down on wind and solar, which together provide roughly 6% of the state's electricity. Six percent. That’s doubling down on failed policy.

Bills That Passed

2026 Maryland General Assembly Session

22 April 2026

By Amy Waychoff

HB 444/SB 245 — Immigration Enforcement Agreements - Prohibition

This bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies, including county sheriffs, from entering into or maintaining "287(g)" agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

SB 791/HB 1575 — Correctional Services and Public Safety — Immigration Enforcement — Prohibitions (Community Trust Act)

The Community Trust Act prohibits Maryland law enforcement and correctional facilities from honoring ICE detainer requests or notifying federal authorities of an individual's release without a valid judicial warrant. This bill, making Maryland a true “Sanctuary State,” is probably in violation of the Supremacy Clause’s bar on state interference with lawful federal authority. 

 

Stacey Sauter led a group of Republican volunteers and candidates hosting the MCGOP tent at last Saturday's Olney Days in the Park festivities from 3 to 9 O'clock.

Other attendees included Fitzgerald Mofor, Harold Maldonado, Sonya Dunn, Dolores Reyes and Esther Wells.

The President's OK, but we're not.

Seeing a third assassination attempt Saturday night, this time at the Washington Hilton, was so saddening. Later he gave comments in the White House Brady Press room, named after the man shot at that same hotel where President Reagan was shot by John Hinkley while leaving the back exit. Most of us who've worked in DC know that place well. 

Years ago, I was working for former President Ford (a President who was shot at twice) and I accompanied him to a dinner at the DC Hilton and introduced him. The room was packed. (I still have the tux I had to buy to accompany him!) I pray not only for the President and his family but all the folks in the country suffering this frightful violence and hatred. Even Erica Kirk was there Saturday night, in tears, remembering her own husband's assassination earlier last year. 

Let's dial back the hatred, dial back the violence, recover our sense of community, and remember we're all neighbors, citizens, and friends. We have more that unites us than divides us. Although we don't think alike, it doesn't mean we must hate each other, and violence is rarely acceptable. God bless America and God bless us all.

We can do this, we'll work with anyone who wants to come together, and unite as a community and a country. Yes, I’ll acknowledge that even some folks on the left have expressed relief that the President, again, survived a third attempt on his life. Although the third potential shooter of Trump had just attended a No Kings protest, not all those attendees want that. After the David Trone ads, the Raskin rhetoric and hate coverage from most of the media, it’s good to hear Hakeem Jeffries suggest they stop using the Hitler/Nazi/racist rhetoric. Perhaps the Congress could come together in good faith and fully fund the government, so the Secret Service agents could finally be paid.

I’m familiar with the Hilton and interactions with the President. I’ve been inside the Secret Service bubble. I've seen threats to politicians of both parties. Read it here.

We were all worried about the President, Melania, the folks in the room and the state of the union. To that end, and since we all need it, I’m planning a Trump Birthday Party for June 6, mark your calendar to attend-more info soon.

After one of the many times our world had erupted into chaos, LA’s Rodney King said “Can't we all just get along?” If you have an idea on how to accomplish that tell me how we can do it. Send me your thoughts and comments. Write to me at [email protected]

Stay safe, God bless America and God bless us all.
