Governor Moore and AstraZeneca Announce $2 Billion Investment to Expand Manufacturing in Maryland, Supporting 2,600 Jobs

We've announced the largest private capital investment in Maryland in the last 10 years.

This partnership will bring hundreds of new jobs to our state, strengthen our country’s medicine supply chain, and accelerate the development of life-saving therapies.

When you choose to advocate for others, you make the world bigger than what’s directly in front of you. It’s the first step on the road to service. And it’s a value that I hope each of our students takes on their journeys into adulthood.

🎉 HUGE WIN FOR MARYLAND:

Our partnership with @astra-zeneca.bsky.social brought us the LARGEST private capital investment in the state in the last DECADE – an investment that will support around 2,600 jobs.

Governor Moore Launches Free Adult Vaccine Program to Expand Immunization Access for Uninsured and Underinsured Marylanders To receive vaccines through the Maryland Vaccine Program, eligible Marylanders can contact their local health department to check availability, or visit the health.maryland.gov for additional information.

Nobody should be denied basic health care because of an inability to pay.

At a time when the federal government is undermining public health and creating unnecessary confusion around vaccine policy, Maryland is investing, leading with science, and stepping up to make sure our people are protected.

Great to see the progress being made on the Purple Line. This line is going to make getting around easier and help connect our communities to more opportunities.

These five cities help explain why homicide rates are down across the U.S. Homicides are down nearly 20 percent this year in 52 of America’s largest cities, a decline that spans both red states and blue states.

Mayor Scott, State’s Attorney Bates, local leaders, and members of the community are showing the nation what putting public safety first looks like.

Through partnership, our state will keep making all of our communities safer.

Rather than lifting up our students and strengthening our workforce, Donald Trump’s lackeys are tearing down the very institutions meant to support them and improve our country’s competitiveness.

New York Times headline announcing Trump Administration's steps to dismantle the Education Department

It doesn’t get more painfully clear than this.

By dismantling the Department of Education – during American Education Week – the Trump administration is demonstrating just how little they care about our kids and educators.

To Maryland's trans community: Our state would be incomplete without you. We will continue to defend your rights against the Trump Administration.

Transgender Day of Remembrance honors the memories of those taken from us by violence, and reminds us that we must keep working to make sure everyone is safe, seen, and free to be themselves.

Jessica and Maggie are just two of Maryland’s incredible and dedicated educators.

They’re preparing our children to become leaders, change-makers, and successful Marylanders. Thank you for fueling our students and making Maryland’s future bright.

I met up with her last month and learned about the incredible work she’s doing as a union and civic leader in Calvert County and member of the Calvert Association of Education Support Staff. I’m grateful for Stephanie and all of our educational support professionals throughout the state!

My statement on the progress to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge:

♥️ Yesterday, we celebrated the grand opening of the Robert Hunt Revitalization Center.

And we’re just getting started.

🏥 We’ve worked with the General Assembly to secure funding for projects like the Park Heights Library and Sinai Hospital,

🏘️ Delivered over $75 million for housing and community development,

🔧 Finalized funds for the revitalization of Pimlico and the surrounding community, and...

For too long, Park Heights and West Baltimore have been overlooked and left behind.

But not anymore.

CASA was born from a deep need in our immigrant communities to have a voice. And those issues haven't gone away.

Maryland will continue to call on Washington to support Dreamers, honor due process, and build a durable pathway to citizenship.

In Maryland, “thank you for your service” actually means something.

As long as I am governor of the state, it always will.

This week, I announced support for initiatives that provide critical aid for rent, groceries, and household stability for veterans.

The @usarmy.bsky.social and @jhu.edu gave me two gifts:

Perspective to pursue opportunities in service I didn’t even realize were available to me, and the preparation I needed to face any challenge and never flinch.

Headline from Anthropic: The state of Maryland partners with Anthropic to better serve residents

It’s not enough to rebuild someone else’s broken government. We need to innovate.

This partnership will speed up our efforts to fight poverty, help renters become homeowners, and make sure Marylanders can quickly get basic services like food assistance and financial support.
