VISION
“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
-Professor Elie Weisel
List of Issues
EDUCATION
​
Our team is passionate about positive, progressive change in Education for the betterment of our children. Once elected, Jason Fowler will fight tirelessly to protect our schools. This campaign will work to advocate for the imperative to incorporate Pre-K to every child in the State of Maryland public schools. Pre-K Education has been proven to be cost effective and benefits each and every child. The Blueprint for Maryland's Future DOES NOT include universal Pre-K. We will also fight to put classroom supplies into a schools budget so no classroom in the state goes without their needed supplies.
PARENTAL LEAVE
​
Jason Fowler is a strong supporter of paid parental leave. The United States is one of the few developed nations in the world for not offering paid maternity and paternity leave. Jason and his wife Tammy, have three children. The first two months were a huge adjustment for them each time. It was very difficult to continue to run their business, be alert, and perform their absolute best during that time. Honestly, they were not alone in needing parental leave.
​
Many of our workers in Maryland do not have the opportunity to bond with their children immediately after they are born or are financially able to take parental leave without pay. This is about promoting a better society and it starts by allowing new parents time to adjust to this major life change in life without the worry of performance at work and/or financial disaster.
As the State Senator for District 27, he would support the creation of paid parental leave throughout the State of Maryland. We need to do this for our workers to increase worker productivity, be worker friendly, and support our employees that are going through a difficult transition with a new baby. Let's support Working Families!
RETIREMENT PLANNING
​
As an attorney, Jason has the privilege of understanding the difficulty of navigating the tax code. As someone who also plans on trying to retire and live comfortably, he understands the desire of many to wish to relocate out of state to do so. This desire is not due to a lack of love for our great State but is out of necessity of living on a fixed income and wanting our dollars to go further. Here at the Fowler campaign, we believe that paying your taxes while you have worked should be rewarded. We are advocating to offer a large state tax deduction for seniors who reside in their forever homes in state. Many states throughout the country do this and Jason believes we owe it to our seniors who live on fixed income.
​
Mr. Fowler also recognizes that we MUST increase the available housing that is suitable for seniors by passing legislation to require affordable housing minimums when projects are constructed. Retirees are also a great resource for part-time employment and even start businesses in their retirement years. Jason will fight for Retirees!
FARMS FEED THE SOUL
​
Jason wants to ensure that every person in the state of Maryland is provided nutritious fruits and vegetables. Partnering with industry leaders in the Netherlands, we will institute a Farm Technology program that will create one of the most successful agricultural revolutions in the United States. With the utilization of farm technology, we will be able to produce excessive amounts of food for not only our local schools, but also for our citizens. Creating partnerships with local farmers to join in the successes and share their bounty, we will create food cooperatives that could make Maryland a top world food producer!
THE ENVIRONMENT
Jason Fowler for Senate is advocating for major environmental policy initiatives with respect to the environment.
The Climate Solution Now Act of 2022 has goals for the State to reach 0% Carbon Emissions by 2045. These goals include electrification of governmental cars and reductions of over 60% of emissions by 2031. ​We need to invest in Green Technology spaces quickly! Jason will work hard to create a statewide framework for investment in the modernization of our energy grid to include sources from 100% renewable energy portfolios.
Jason is also passionate about technology investment to reduce and even eliminate carbon in the atmosphere. He is introducing legislation to utilize carbon recapture methodologies to reduce our atmospheric abundance of CO2 to preindustrial levels.
​
We must also continue to create SAV havens throughout the Chesapeake Bay with continual removal of trash, waste, and nitrogen discharge in our waterways. Jason will introduce legislation to further create methodologies to improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay
TRANSPORTATION
Jason Fowler wants to ensure that Prince George's, Charles, and Calvert's roads, bridges and infrastructure receive priority in Annapolis.
His main objective is to invest in the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit Project which will create a new light rail connecting lower Prince George's and Charles Counties to our DC Metro rail system. This transit project will reduce vehicles on the roads, connect vital governmental services to people, and offer a more environmentally friendly travel option for citizens. Jason is also advocating to connect the tri-county area by replacing infrastructure in need of replacement such as the Thomas Johnson Bridge in Calvert County.
​
Jason will pass legislation that will utilize applications used in Monaco and South Korea that are used to report maintenance projects for our infrastructure needs which will speed up the process of identifying and repairing our cities and streets.
SMALL BUSINESS
Jason is a strong supporter of growing small businesses in Southern Maryland. As the joint owner and operator of Fowler and Fowler Law, LLC, he understands the difficulty of starting a small business and making a living here. Promoting growth in small businesses can be accomplished in many tangible ways.
Once elected, Jason would support creation and promotion of local events that highlight our small businesses. Tourism is a strong way to help increase exposure and patronage across this district. He will also support legislation and spending on needed infrastructure to create venues to create local economic growth.
Another great way to support and foster local small business growth is a strong marketing campaign for ours and neighboring districts to come visit us on the weekends for special events. Team Fowler is also advocating for the creation of local tax deductions/credits for small businesses that hire local employees and/or offer remote working options for their employees.
LOWER ELECTRICITY COSTS
Jason is a strong supporter of expansion of Nuclear Energy facilities across Maryland. The Green Energy Renewable Portfolio Standard "RPS" should include the expansion of nuclear power for our State. Calvert County holds the sole Nuclear facility in the State and it produces 40% of the states demand for Power. The requirement of the our State's reliance on purchasing out of state energy has, in part, increased our local expenses for our utility bills.
​
Jason would like to add Nuclear Power to our state's "RPS." In addition to that, Jason would advocate the completion of 3 additional nuclear facilities throughout our state to assist in our power generation needs. It is past time we invested in the needed utilities needed to run our State. Let's Lower those Bills with long term investment in electric cooperatives like we have in Southern Maryland.
​
Jason will Repeal SB1 (2024). This bill created a state-wide monopoly for businesses providing electricity. This monopoly has naturally with no competitors raised rates and charged "distribution" fees to provide power to residential customers. This has resulted in part in the ballooning of our electricity bills. Let's bring back competitive residential energy providers.
