“I am running for Governor to Build a New Maryland. My vision is that in the New Maryland private sector jobs are created, small businesses expand, good government is restored, children are well educated and we balance our budget without continuing the O’Malley legacy of raising taxes and fee hikes” continued George to thunderous applause.
