Economic Development & Small Business FAQs
What exactly is a "business incubator" and why is it part of your plan?
A business incubator is a collaborative program designed to help new and startup companies succeed by providing them with shared office space, mentorship, and access to capital. I believe they are the backbone of sustainable growth because they nurture local talent and keep wealth within our community rather than relying on outside corporations.
How will this plan differ across the various counties of MD-05?
While the framework is consistent, the execution will be county-specific. For example, in St. Mary’s, we might focus on aerospace and defense-related startups to support NAS Patuxent River, while in Prince George’s, we could prioritize tech and green energy innovations. My plan is designed to scale and adapt to the unique economic strengths of Prince George, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s Counties.
Federal Employee Support
Why are you prioritizing "pay stability" for federal employees?
With the current economic climate and the high cost of living in Maryland, our public servants shouldn't have to worry about whether their paychecks will keep up with inflation or be threatened by government shutdowns. I advocate for consistent pay increases and stability that reflect the vital work they do for our nation.
How will your plan help federal employees with homeownership?
I am pushing for expanded and streamlined VA home loan offers and similar federal housing incentives. Many of our district’s residents are veterans or long-term civil servants who deserve the ability to own a home in the very communities they serve.
What do you mean by "incentives for locals to pursue advanced degrees"?
I want to implement federal tuition assistance and loan forgiveness programs specifically targeted at federal employees living in MD-05. By encouraging our neighbors to gain higher qualifications, we ensure that the top leadership roles in our federal agencies are filled by people who actually live in and care about our district.
Brian Jordan's vision for Maryland’s 5th District centers on two major goals: creating a thriving, locally-owned economy through
small business incubators and providing
robust protections and benefits for the federal workforce. By focusing on localized growth in every county and ensuring our federal employees have the stability and resources they need, Brian is committed to building a more resilient and prosperous district for 2026 and beyond.
