Maryland families are being squeezed from every direction — utility bills, healthcare costs, and a rising cost of living that shows no signs of slowing down. On this episode of The Jimmy Mathis Show, Jimmy sits down with Tyrone Keys, newly announced Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor alongside Ed Hale Sr., for his first interview since joining the ticket. Keys breaks down why Maryland’s affordability crisis is not the result of market forces, but failed government policy. From shutting down power plants to doubling down on green energy mandates that only supply a fraction of the state’s power, this conversation exposes how Annapolis decisions are directly hurting seniors, working families, and small businesses. This episode takes a hard look at leadership, accountability, and why Maryland voters may once again be open to change — just as they were when Bob Ehrlich and Larry Hogan were elected.
