What Maryland’s governor can do about gas, inflation and the economy


Democratic and Republican candidates for governor are trying to woo voters worried about the economy and hit by budget-crushing inflation and gas prices. A June Goucher College Poll survey conducted in partnership with The Baltimore Banner and WYPR revealed the economy weighs heavy on the minds of voters in both parties. Eighty-four percent of Democrats and 83% of Republicans polled said the state business climate and economic condition were at least a minor concern, while 74% of Republicans and 41% of Democrats said they had a “mostly negative” outlook on Maryland’s current economic situation.
