I don't pay any attention to what the Baltimore Sun editorial page says about anything.

Thoughtful people of different political philosophies can disagree, but in a very agreeable manner.

I'm a competitive person.

I generally believe in polls. Scientific polls are accurate.

My capital budget maintains my commitment to the education of children, health of the Chesapeake Bay, and safety of all Maryland citizens. We will continue to focus on the five pillars of my Administration as we build today and look forward to the projects of the future.

Leaders do not sway with the polls. Instead, they sway the polls through their own words and actions.

At some point - I care about charter schools and criminal justice reform and $20 trillion in debt and real growth. At some point, I want to hear that clash of ideas. I don`t care if it gets ugly. That`s what campaigns are all about.
