The Gallop Organization conducted a nationwide poll and asked participants if they'd move from their state. Maryland ranked number 3!

In fact, 47% of Marylanders would leave if they could!

You might be asking yourself why anyone would want to leave our beautiful State. For a significant number of Marylanders, the answer to that question is one word: TAXES!

This survey is a serious indictment of the Liberal "tax and spend" policies pervasive in Annapolis. The Left is actually taxing longtime Marylanders out of our state.

Taxes and regulations are crushing innovation and hurting the people who can least afford them. But - there are simple solutions:

• Why not eliminate taxes on retirement income?
• Why not eliminate the Business Personal Property Tax?
• Why not stop wasting taxpayer dollars on big government programs that don't work - like the state's failed healthcare website?

These are the kinds of common-sense ideas that I will fight for in Annapolis.

I will fight to make Maryland friendly to job creators, retirees, and to the hard working men and women who call our state home.

It's really simple - the Democrat super-majority coupled with eight years of O'Malley-Brown have left Marylanders wanting to leave. We cannot allow this to continue.

Let's work together to release the engine of innovation that will create opportunity for all Marylanders. Let's get government out of our way!

Yours in service,
Mark Fisher
