At 12:01 this morning, the federal government shut down. Not by accident, but by choice.
Washington failed to govern, Donald Trump failed to make a deal, and now families across our state are left to deal with the fallout.
This shutdown will have staggering impacts for our state — health coverage left in limbo, wages lost, programs shuttered, projects scrapped.
But here in Maryland, we will not stop protecting each other.
We’re going to keep our state government open.
We’re going to protect critical programs like Medicaid and food assistance.
And we’re working to ensure that no one is foreclosed on or evicted simply because Washington won’t do its job and would rather force people to go without a paycheck.
If you’re a federal worker, a veteran, or a family impacted by this shutdown — or even if you know someone who is — visit go.md.gov/FederalShutdown.
There, you’ll find resources, protections, and support available right now.
We’ve faced hard times before. We’ll face them again.
But as one Marylander told me: Thank God we’re in Maryland.
May God Bless the Great State of Maryland and may we all continue our work to Leave No One Behind.
Your Governor,
Wes Moore
