A Message from Senator Mike McKay

“Good afternoon, friends, neighbors, and fellow Marylanders—

Today, I’m proud to stand before you and officially announce my re-election campaign for the Maryland State Senate. The paperwork is filed, and now—boots on the ground—we’re heading back to the people, where this journey began.

I come to you not as a career politician, but as a working-class conservative who believes in the enduring strength of faith, family, and freedom. These values are not just words—they are the engine that pulls this great state forward, and they will remain the compass of my service to you.

As we launch this campaign, I’m reminded of a time when American presidents—great leaders like Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower—took to the rails, speaking directly to the people from the caboose of a train. They didn’t hide behind consultants or media filters—they looked voters in the eye, shook their hands, and earned their trust one stop at a time.

That’s exactly how we’ll do it. Town by town, handshake by handshake, we’ll listen, we’ll lead, and we’ll make sure working families have a real voice in Annapolis.

This is your campaign. This is your seat. And with your support, we’ll keep moving Maryland in the right direction—one stop, one story, and one strong stand at a time.

All aboard—because this race is official.

Thank you, God bless you, and let’s hit the trail!”
