Bob Cassilly Is A Small Business Owner

As a small business owner, Bob Cassilly understands that a robust local economy and improved business climate is essential to Harford County’s quality of life.

That’s why he has always promoted fiscally conservative values, such as sponsoring and supporting legislation to lower taxes, balance government budgets by eliminating wasteful spending, and working to retain and create quality jobs.

As a local councilman and as a Senator in the Maryland General Assembly, Bob consistently opposed tax hikes and other progressive legislation, while leading efforts to revitalize vacant commercial space, reduce government regulations, filing fees, and bureaucratic processes on our businesses, and promote workforce training.
