IMAGINE A FUTURE where every child grows up in a strong and healthy family and every individual has a fair chance to reach their potential and live the American dream. It’s more possible than ever.
More for Maryland is a nonpartisan campaign to change our future and make Maryland the state of opportunity in the 21st century.
Building on the successful Maryland Opportunity Compact, our campaign offers a new contract between our state, our private sector and our people to create more opportunity, demand more responsibility and deliver more results for our tax dollars.
It’s an innovative, common-sense approach that stops excessive spending on last resort programs like prison and foster care and starts investing in opportunity and success.

- Healthy Babies: Expand access to prenatal care and supports for pregnant women.
- Ready To Learn: Open doors to quality early education and literacy programs.
- Good Options: Give youth positive activities after school.

Second Chances for Responsible Adults and Youth

- Responsible Re-Entry: Return former offenders to their communities with skills and attitudes to participate fully in society.
Save Money and Change Lives
- Invest Early: Target resources to expand opportunities for Marylanders to succeed.
- Demand Accountability: De-fund programs that don’t work, reinvest in those that do.
- Reward Results: Make our government work more effectively.
