The main focus of all of the speeches was to get the state back on track financially, rescind high taxes and fees, improve the education system, and bring back family values as well as to keep Talbot County a great place to live.
Both gubernatorial candidates spoke about rolling back recent decisions made by the Moore administration and making the state a place where people feel safe and can afford to live.
