Letter to the editor: November is a chance for Maryland to turn red
· The Washington TimesOPINION:
In my new state of Maryland, the pivotal 2026 election will be the gubernatorial face-off between incumbent Democrat Wes Moore and former Republican Maryland House of Delegates member, attorney Dan Cox.
As I see it, after four years of Mr. Moore’s mismanagement and wasteful spending, this is a golden opportunity for Maryland to turn the corner and become a red state.
One example of Moore’s mismanagement and abuse of the Maryland taxpayers is his decision to make Maryland a sanctuary state. This, according to the Trump administration, “violates, obstructs and defies the enforcement of Federal immigration laws.”
Aside from the illegal-alien crime that emanates from a sanctuary jurisdiction, perhaps the best way to illustrate just how unfair this is to regular, hard-working citizens is the high burden of car insurance premiums that Mr. Moore’s policy places on us.
When one Googles “Why are Maryland’s auto insurance premiums so high?” the first search result that comes up is “High uninsured motorist rates,” citing that a significant portion of drivers in Maryland are uninsured. This forces the legally insured drivers to subsidize the financial risk.
Yet the state government under Wes Moore is clearly turning a blind eye to this hardship, even exacerbating it because state law cites that it is “illegal to register or maintain a vehicle’s registration without active auto insurance in Maryland.”
This contradiction cannot happen without state-government complicity. I blame this very fixable and unfair economic hardship strictly on the corrupt We “America Last” Moore.
Making Maryland a red state and eliminating our sanctuary state status (getting rid of illegal aliens and all their baked-in costs) will vastly improve the quality of life of all legal, law-abiding Marylanders.

All we have to do is show up and vote for a new Republican governor. If we do, there’s no reason that, with Maryland’s natural beauty, it can’t claim the coveted title of “1980s California of the East Coast.”
