Jobs
It takes fresh thinking to bring new jobs to the area. For Judd, jobs are priority number one. That means business incentives and tax credits for growth industries like renewable energy and biotechnology, expanding access to capital for small businesses and lowering regulatory hurdles by simplifying permitting and licensing for businesses.
More from Judd on the economy.
Chesapeake Bay
We need bold action and new thinking to clean up the Bay, because 25 years of the old ideas have failed. Judd will fight to restore the Bay to health, including setting and enforcing a maximum daily pollution budget for the Bay, even if it means standing up to powerful special interests.

Fiscal Responsibility
State government must balance the books, just like Judd’s great-great-grandparents did at their general store. As our Delegate, Judd will fight for an honest and responsible state budget, including consolidating redundant programs, eliminating non-essential boards and commissions, reducing costs by pooling purchasing and closing corporate tax loopholes.

Education
It’s essential that Maryland maintain its strong financial commitment to education, even in tough economic times. Maryland has some of the best schools in the country, but there is still much work to be done to extend high quality educational opportunities to every child. We also need to invest in workforce education, including substantial investments in community colleges, so that Marylanders can retrain and adapt to the rapidly changing economy.

Ethics
Lobbyists and special interests have too much influence in Maryland. That’s why Judd isn’t accepting campaign contributions from PACs or anyone registered to lobby the Maryland Government. As Delegate, Judd will remain open and accessible and take a hands-on approach to representing your family and your neighborhood. That means holding regular open office hours, making his official schedule available online and using new technologies ensure that Judd is always in touch with constituents.
