Issue Position

Maryland is ranked as one of the nation's worst states to do business in.

Maryland lost over 10,000 small businesses since 2006 due to high taxes and overregulation that are pushing jobs and economic opportunity out of the state.

Our reputation in the business community is negative. The non-partisan Tax Foundation lists Maryland 47th out of 50th in terms of our business competitiveness.

Maryland must lower its tax burden and regulations on businesses and entrepreneurs. Businesses are rapidly leaving the State or just not coming at all. They take jobs and economic opportunity with them.
