On CNN’s “State of the Union,” governor-elect Wes Moore said that economics will be his priority, and he is going to work to create pathways for “work, wages and wealth.” He said too many people are working in their jobs and still living below the poverty line, and he wants to make sure people own more than they owe.
Moore also said he plans to push for legislation to allow high school students to have an option to provide service to their communities for a year after they graduate.
Moore said he is “very confident” that he can accomplish the social programs he wants without tax hikes, adding that he is data-driven and heart-led as a leader.
