THE FRANCHOT PLEDGES: A BOLD VISION FOR MARYLAND'S FUTURE
Friday, June 25, 2021

Dear Marylanders,

My heart goes out to the victims of the pandemic over the past year, especially the more than 9,000 Marylanders who have died and the more than 460,000 Marylanders who have been infected, as well as the families who have shared in their struggle. My heart is also with the tens of thousands of small businesses that have permanently closed, and the hundreds of thousands of workers who
are still suffering from the deepest economic recession their sectors have seen since the Great Depression. From seniors isolated in assisted living facilities, to children trying their best to succeed with remate learning, this pandemic has taken a toll. The first task befare us is to begin the process of healing.

I join Marylanders across the state in the hope that by the end of this summer the virus will be crushed and a robust recovery will be underway. We have suffered greatly as a state and as a nation because our leaders have confused wishful thinking and good intentions with good management and strategic leadership. As a result, millions of Marylanders experienced confusion, frustration, and anger over poor execution of our COVID-19 response. Far too often, the pandemic created needs that government did not rise to meet. You deserve better.

My commitment is to work for you -- all of Maryland -- and to earn the job anew each day by delivering results you can see and feel. The following pledges are not empty campaign promises. They are my substantive commitments to the residents of Maryland. lf I am fortunate enough to be your Governor in January 2023, my goal is to make Maryland the leading state in our nation, known by all as a bastion of economic and social fairness, as a state where all of its residents share in its prosperity.

My very best personal wishes to each of you,


Peter Franchot

A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD: A Concrete Plan for Economic, Social and Political Equity for Black Marylanders

August 2021

Friends,

lt is with great warmth and optimism that I write this letter. Over the last several months of campaigning, communities across Maryland have been incredibly enthusiastic in their embrace of our vision for the state. Time and again I hear a similar refrain: "We know you. We trust you. We're with you."

So much of that support is based on an understanding that is central to my vision for the state: competence in government. By getting the core services of government to work properly -- even the basics like answering the phones and filling the potholes -- we can restare trust in our government's ability to execute on bigger, bolder solutions that will allow more Marylanders to achieve the quality of life they deserve.

Understood that way, competent government is a transformative concept. lt's the difference between the rhetoric we all agree on, and the results we all deserve. As your next Governor I will focus my brand of proven, honest leadership on delivering results that you can see and feel every day.

For Black Marylanders, those results matter. Each week, Black leaders in business, faith, and politics tell me that they're tired of being told how important they are, and want to be shown how important they are through concrete policy commitments that impact their quality of life in meaningful ways. I write today to outline concrete commitments that you can bank on from me as your next Governor.

As your next Governor, I will maintain the same bedrock commitment to your communities that I have demonstrated during my tenure as Comptroller. Points of progress l'm particularly proud of include:
 
•  I have consistently fought against single bid contracts for state procurement projects, because they unfairly stack the deck against Minority and Women Owned Businesses (MWBEs). Since becoming Comptroller, the use of single bid contracts has fallen by 86% because of my advocacy.

•  I have voted for and approved more than $19.2 billion in contract payments to MWBEs during my tenure as Comptroller.

•  I advocated for the creation of the Terra Maria Developing Managers Program, which creates asset management opportunities far minority and women money managers through the State of Maryland's Pension Fund. From 2015 - 2020, the program has more than doubled participation from minority and women owned firms, and brought a total of $11.07 billion to these firms for management. As Governor, I will continue to insist upon game changing opportunities to effectuate inclusion of minority and women owned firms as a fundamental component of my administration.

•  I called far an audit on COVID relief spending in order to determine whether it was equitably distributed, which led to the creation of the Comptroller's Work Group on Pandemic Spending. Within one month of starting, the group has already uncovered that Prince George's County and Baltimore City received half of the funds of their
white-majority neighbors, despite having just as many qualifying businesses.

•  When Governor Hogan was elected, I immediately called on him to maintain his commitment to infrastructure projects like the Purple Line that serves majority Black Communities. Moreover, as Governor I will renew our commitment to the Red Line by breaking ground on an East-West rail project in Baltimore City and County.

•  Together with the leadership of Maryland's chapter of the NAACP, I called on Maryland to immediately improve climate control in its public schools so as to address the unequal experience for students primarily from Black and Brown communities.

All my best,

Peter Franchot
