Governor Wes Moore says he's focused on Maryland, touting a tax cut for middle class families during a Sunday appearance on CNN. "We just provided middle class families a tax cut that 94% of Maryland families are either going to get a tax cut or see no changes in their taxes at all," said Governor Wes Moore.
