Cutting Taxes and fees

Marylanders are being crushed by rising taxes and fees. In 2025, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act, raising taxes and fees by $1.6 billion — increases that affect nearly every resident.

From higher vehicle taxes and emissions fees to increased property assessments, digital service taxes, and new taxes on everyday purchases, families are paying more than ever just to live and work in Maryland.

Dan believes Marylanders deserve relief.

If elected, he will introduce legislation to roll back these tax and fee hikes so families can afford to stay in the state they love.

Working with the Federal Government

In February 2026, Governor Moore signed the law that prevents state and local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This law restricts officers from inquiring about immigration status or honoring ICE detainers — even in cases involving violent offenders.

Dan believes public safety must come first.

If elected, he will introduce legislation allowing local law enforcement and sheriffs to honor ICE detainers to keep violent criminals off the streets and protect Maryland families.

Lowering High Energy Bills

Maryland families are facing skyrocketing electric bills — in some cases reaching nearly $1,000 per month during the winter. State policies mandating the closure of coal‑fired power plants by 2030 have left Maryland with fewer energy sources and higher costs.

Dan believes Maryland must pursue practical, affordable energy solutions.

If elected, he will work with the U.S. Department of Energy to reopen shuttered power plants and convert them to natural gas, restoring reliability and lowering costs for families.

Fiscal Responsibility

In 2026, Governor Moore and Prince George’s County approved a $200 million taxpayer‑funded grant to help build a “Mini Sphere” at National Harbor — a project that cost billions in Las Vegas and was built without public funding.

Dan believes Maryland taxpayers should not be forced to fund projects they did not approve and do not want.

If elected, he will introduce legislation requiring repayment of the $200 million and ensuring that future large‑scale projects cannot move forward without taxpayer consent.
