Issue Position: General

Issue Position

As your State Delegate, I have focused my attention on job creation, land rights and protection for our farmers and watermen.

I am a fiscal conservative. I believe in hard work, less government, living within your means and adherence to our Constitution.
As your State Delegate and a former 12-year Mayor of Rock Hall, I have a proven record of cutting taxes, private sector job creation and bettering our communities on the Eastern Shore.
During the last legislative session, I introduced 10 bills to preserve, protect and improve the Eastern Shore. I am pleased to announce that 6 of these bills were signed into law.
I was especially pleased to receive The Maryland Business for Responsive Government's 2014 John Shaw Award for a 97% Pro-Business Voting record during my first term in office

"At a time when most Republican legislators cannot get a single bill passed, Delegate Jay Jacobs was able to get six bills signed into law. Jay's ability to be effective in Annapolis is a great benefit to residents of the Eastern Shore and is testament to Delegate Jacobs' ability to get things done."
