| We Need Kathy Szeliga | |
Almost 36 years ago when she and her husband Mark got married, they had five dollars in their pockets - no car and minimum wage jobs. Mark was a laborer in construction, and Kathy worked a variety of minimum-wage jobs. Kathy put up drywall and helped build a golf course. She was a dishwasher, parking lot attendant, maid, and waitress. With hard work, she rose up through the ranks to be the housekeeping manager at a resort. They believed in the American Dream - they were living it. Mark and Kathy were eventually able to start a small construction company. They learned how to hire good people, meet a payroll, and deal with all of the government rules, regulations and taxes that go with running a small business. They struggled to build their business as they raised two sons. Kathy also enrolled in college - as a working mom she knows how tough it is to be a non-traditional student. At age 32, Kathy finally graduated from Towson State with the highest honors and a degree in Elementary Education. Kathy was so proud to have her kids see her walk across that stage and receive her degree. They certainly saw how hard she studied to reach that goal. Like many of us, Mark and Kathy's business got hit hard by the recession. At that point, Kathy wanted to see if she could use her life experiences in business and community service and make a difference. Kathy wanted to make sure that hard-working Marylanders could achieve the American Dream.
In 2010, everywhere we looked there was another fee, tax, toll, regulation, and law. Things needed to change, and Kathy wanted to be a part of it. So she ran for the House of Delegates and won. Kathy worked my way up to where she is now - the highest ranking Republican female in the state of Maryland. Kathy quickly realized that real change would require collaboration and working together by reaching out to people from different walks of life and different political parties. Now it's time to do the same in Washington. Kathy's campaign is about real Marylanders doing extraordinary things. We hope you'll join us! |

| The Tax Hike You Probably Don’t Even Know Is Coming | |
By Del. Kathy Szeliga "The tax man is coming, and many of you may not even be aware it's about to hit your wallet. That’s because in 2013, then-Governor O’Malley and his friends in the state legislature passed a bill that would increase your gas tax every year. Since the time the law was passed in 2013, the tax has increased a whopping 42.5 percent – from 23.5 cents to 33.5 cents per gallon." CLICK to Continue Reading |

| University of MD Economist on the state of the American economy | |
"This is a very good summary of the state of the economy, by University of Maryland economist Peter Morici. It makes a lie of the recent Obama victory laps on his great economic achievements. One point Morici does not make is the disturbing Labor Force Participation rate, which at 62.6% is the lowest since the Carter years. An all-time high of 94.7 million Americans are not participating in the US labor force. Many have given up looking for work and a growing number are trapped on government largess. It would be good if every voter had these facts." ~ Ellen Sauerbrey June 3, 2016, NewsMax.com, By Peter Morici 'Paltry' Jobs Report Exposes Obama's Liberal Failures "To listen to President Barack Obama, Americans live in a liberal paradise: a robust economy, 75 consecutive months of jobs growth and a government aggressively promoting social justice. For those employed in the liberal industrial complex — media, universities and political consultants advising Democratic candidates — it’s all true. It’s time for Hillary. How could Americans not enjoy a historic march from the worst excesses of capitalism! Sadly, it’s not so. Family incomes are down about $1,600 on Obama’s watch, whereas they rose by $4,800 during the Reagan years. For African-American families, income losses are greater, their children trail further in school achievement, poverty is tougher to escape, and the wealth gap with whites has widened. The recent Labor Department jobs report tells the sad story why. The economy added a paltry 38,000 new positions in May. The liberal media will apologize that the Verizon strike cut about 35,000 but monthly job gains have been trending down since 2014 and 2015. That’s frustrating a stronger recovery in wages, especially for minorities. Ronald Reagan accomplished about twice the jobs and GDP growth during his recovery by cutting taxes, tearing down regulations and negotiating a deal with Asia exporters to stop pushing down values of their currencies." ...
