Maryland Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox cast himself as a candidate with a “middle-temperament approach,” a descriptor that contrasts with the record he’s built over the past four years in the General Assembly
The descriptor from Cox, a conservative freshman in the House of Delegates, is in contrast to the record he’s built over the past several years in the General Assembly, where he often voted on the fringe of his own party and developed a portfolio largely focused on restricting abortion access.
The event, which was held virtually with the candidates appearing separately to answer questions, was among the first opportunities since the July 19 primary for voters to get a glimpse of how the candidates are shaping their message. So far, the candidates only have one debate planned, which is scheduled for next month and will be hosted by Maryland Public Television.
Cox said he grew up in a lower-middle-class household with a father who is a pastor. He said he would promote “not long-term dependency on the state but on individuals to be able to accomplish their dreams.”Moore talked about his mother, an immigrant from Jamaica, who received her first job with benefits when he was 14 years old.
Moore wants pre-K for anyone who needs it, increased access to affordable child care and to extend the earned income tax credit as part of a plan to address poverty.
