  • In a November 26, 2015 ,Thanksgiving day, op-ed, Martin O'Malley discussed his plan to make sure that no child is hungry. He wrote, “The fact is, we can make sure that no child goes hungry – not in some distant time or the next generation, but within five years. That’s why I have made eliminating child hunger by 2020 one of my 15 Goals for Rebuilding the American Dream – which will serve as a guide, day in and day out, for what I would do as president.” O’Malley proposed, “fighting back against austerity budgets that hurt our people and do nothing to grow our economy.” He also proposed restoring “cuts to key nutrition programs like SNAP” and the National School Lunch Program.[2]
  • O'Malley's campaign released a white paper on August 21, 2015, outlining O’Malley’s plan to expand Social Security. As president, O’Malley would seek to increase Social Security benefits for all retirees, remove the cap on payroll taxes for workers earning more than $250,000, improve the cost-of-living adjustments formula, offer “caregiver credits” to elder care providers and maintain the current Social Security retirement age.[3]
  • In December 2013, O'Malley "announced that a state record 12,504 people left welfare and found employment in the year ending September 30. More than one-third (37%) of these jobs pay $10/hour or more, and many former welfare recipients are working in key industries such as health care, warehousing, along with educational and administrative support," according to The Maryland Department of Human Resources.[4]
  • "Over the last seven years, we have transitioned more than 75,000 individuals into jobs — individuals who would otherwise be dependent on the state for economic support. By linking a record number of parents with jobs, we are helping more moms and dads in Maryland obtain the skills they need to compete and better provide for their families," O’Malley said.[4]
