==Political positions==
===Housing===
In April 2022, a law which Holmes co-sponsored, [[Maryland House Bill 107|House Bill 107]], which mandated that condominiums, housing associations, [[Housing cooperative|cooperatives]], and [[homeowner associations]] complete a [[reserve study]] by October 1, 2023, passed both houses of the [[Maryland General Assembly]]. It went into effect in October 2023 and impacted condominium owners in [[Ocean City, Maryland]] and across Maryland, with unit owners facing "five-to-six digit bills over the next few years" to meet the law's deadlines which require a reserve fund for repairs and maintenance.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hine|first=Hunter|url=https://www.oceancitytoday.com/news/ocean-city-condo-owners-face-huge-bills-after-maryland-law-mandates-reserve-funds/article_db312286-6e91-11ee-a676-536c52dc4d9b.html|title=Ocean City condo owners face huge bills after Maryland law mandates reserve funds|website=OC Today|orig-date=October 19, 2023|date=October 26, 2023|access-date=November 16, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231028100246/https://www.oceancitytoday.com/news/ocean-city-condo-owners-face-huge-bills-after-maryland-law-mandates-reserve-funds/article_db312286-6e91-11ee-a676-536c52dc4d9b.html|archive-date=October 28, 2023|url-status=live}}</ref>

In October 2021, Holmes described reserve studies as necessary because of complaints by association members that they are hit with huge special assessments because there aren't "enough funds in their reserve accounts" and argued that the bill would "help protect against those scenarios".<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Miller |first=Peter B. |date=September–October 2021 |title=The Reserves Truth |url=https://www.caionline.org/CommonGround/Pages/Free%20articles/The-Reserves-Truth.aspx |magazine=Common Ground |location=[[Arlington, Virginia]] |publisher=[[Community Associations Institute]] |access-date=November 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221201180822/https://www.caionline.org/CommonGround/Pages/Free%20articles/The-Reserves-Truth.aspx |archive-date=December 1, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> Holmes has been described as a "staunch supporter" of greater oversight of HOAs and condo associations<ref>{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Larry|url=https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/maryland/marlton-iv-hoa-leaves-collapsing-sidewalk/65-2262a2b3-c428-44d3-92c6-f1c537c1f527|title=Defunct Maryland HOA leaves complex with collapsing sidewalk|publisher=[[WUSA9]]|date=August 6, 2021|access-date=December 21, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221006093742/https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/maryland/marlton-iv-hoa-leaves-collapsing-sidewalk/65-2262a2b3-c428-44d3-92c6-f1c537c1f527|archive-date=October 6, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> and a "housing guru" in the Maryland General Assembly.<ref name="schaefer2023">{{cite web|last=Schaefer|first=Peter|url=https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power/state-government/community-association-maintenance-fees-YL7WMA7TUVCXXGP2TE2VCELBPE/|website=[[The Baltimore Banner]]|title=A 2022 law required HOAs to assess maintenance needs.

Previously, the Maryland General Assembly failed to adopt statewide legislation mandating reserve studies, but adopted similar legislation for [[Prince George's County, Maryland|Prince George's County]] in 2020 and [[Montgomery County, Maryland|Montgomery County]] in 2021.<ref>{{cite news |date=Fall 2021 |title=New Maryland Laws Impact Association Governance |url=https://schildlaw.com/global_pictures/Community_Association_LawLetter.Fall.2021.pdf |work=Community Association LawLetter |publisher=Thomas Schild Law Group, LLC |access-date=November 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230615100536/https://schildlaw.com/global_pictures/Community_Association_LawLetter.Fall.2021.pdf |archive-date=June 15, 2023 |url-status=live}} Also see the article "Replacement Reserve Law Enacted for Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties"</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Montgomery|first=Richard|url=https://www.msba.org/new-maryland-laws-taking-effect-october-1-2020-complete-listing/|title=New Maryland Laws Taking Effect October 1, 2020 (Complete Listing)|publisher=Maryland State Bar Association|date=October 1, 2020|access-date=November 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331135730/https://www.msba.org/new-maryland-laws-taking-effect-october-1-2020-complete-listing/ |archive-date=March 31, 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://princegeorgeshousedelegation.com/2019/11/14/pg-403-20-prince-georges-county-cooperative-housing-corporations-condominiums-and-homeowners-associations-reserve-studies/|title=HB 254/PG 403-20: Prince George's County – Cooperative Housing Corporations, Condominiums, and Homeowners Associations – Reserve Studies|publisher=Prince George's County House Delegation|access-date=December 21, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231222035717/https://princegeorgeshousedelegation.com/2019/11/14/pg-403-20-prince-georges-county-cooperative-housing-corporations-condominiums-and-homeowners-associations-reserve-studies/|archive-date=December 22, 2023|url-status=live}}</ref> Holmes also helped write those reserve studies laws.<ref name="schaefer2023" />

During the 2024 legislative session, Holmes supported a bill to give tenants the right of first refusal if the property owner of their residence seeks to sell the property.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Brown |first1=Danielle J. |title=Landlord-tenant bills provide drama in 'Crossover Day' House action |url=https://www.marylandmatters.org/2024/03/18/landlord-tenant-bills-provide-drama-in-crossover-day-house-action/ |access-date=March 18, 2024 |work=[[Maryland Matters]] |date=March 18, 2024}}</ref>

In November 2024, Holmes stated that many underestimate how much living in a common ownership community costs, and noted that he would sponsor legislation in the 2025 legislative session that would "establish a statewide commission for common ownership communities," and that he would reintroduce a bill which sets "licensing standards for property managers." It was also noted that Holmes' previous attempts to pass legislation establishing "bill of rights" for residents of common ownership communities had "failed three times in as many sessions."<ref name="miller2024">{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Hattie|url=https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/housing/housing-costs-rising-rockland-run-condo-fees-IXYLXTNDNNGZRAXC4MQSQ5LOTE/|title=A Baltimore County complex shows how it's getting more expensive to own a condo|website=[[The Baltimore Banner]]|date=November 18, 2024|access-date=November 19, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241118110738/https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/housing/housing-costs-rising-rockland-run-condo-fees-IXYLXTNDNNGZRAXC4MQSQ5LOTE/|archive-date=November 18, 2024|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2025, he sponsored a bill, along with [[Nick Allen (politician)|Nick Allen]], [[Linda Foley]], [[Wayne A. Hartman]], [[Denise Roberts]], and [[Regina T. Boyce]], revising the [[Maryland House Bill 107|2023 mandate]] for funding of [[Reserve study|reserve studies]] and preparation of funding plans by [[housing cooperatives]], [[condominiums]], and [[homeowners associations]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/HB0292?ys=2025RS|title=Cooperative Housing Corporations, Condominiums, and Homeowners Associations - Funding of Reserve Accounts and Preparation of Funding Plans|website=[[Maryland General Assembly]]|access-date=May 19, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250513210641/https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/HB0292?ys=2025RS|archive-date=May 13, 2025|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Burke|first=Raymond Daniel|url=https://marylandcondolaw.com/new-legislation-requires-condominiums-to-fund-the-amounts-specified-in-a-reserve-study/|title=New Legislation Requires Condominiums To Fund The Amounts Specified In a Reserve Study|website=Gordon Feinblatt LLC|date=May 13, 2025|access-date=May 19, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250519152319/https://marylandcondolaw.com/new-legislation-requires-condominiums-to-fund-the-amounts-specified-in-a-reserve-study/|archive-date=May 19, 2025|url-status=live}}</ref> He worked with [[Community Associations Institute]] on the bill's introduction.<ref>{{cite report |last= |first= |date=2025 |title=2025 CAI Maryland Legislative Session Report |url=https://www.caionline.org/getmedia/f32b9a65-1f8a-4949-b718-5d12e9a50d7c/MDEOS2025.pdf |work=[[Community Associations Institute]] |location= |publisher= |docket= |access-date=May 19, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250515145536/https://www.caionline.org/getmedia/f32b9a65-1f8a-4949-b718-5d12e9a50d7c/MDEOS2025.pdf |archive-date=May 15, 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite report |date=2025 |title=Help Protect Your Community!: 5 Reasons Why You Should Contribute|url=https://www.caionline.org/getmedia/4fce27fa-95c5-470a-afd3-a5a9cc56bfdb/maryland-dollar-a-door-2025.pdf |work=Maryland Legislative Action Committee |publisher=[[Community Associations Institute]] |docket= |access-date=May 19, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250519154035/https://www.caionline.org/getmedia/4fce27fa-95c5-470a-afd3-a5a9cc56bfdb/maryland-dollar-a-door-2025.pdf |archive-date=May 19, 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===National politics===
Following the [[2021 United States Capitol attack]], Holmes compared [[Donald Trump]] to [[Adolf Hitler]], stating "What's going on, unfortunately, is the start of anarchy proposed and accelerated by Trump. We only need to look at how Hitler came into power by chipping away at a society by having others enacting his dominance. It's similar to how slavery became law; one statute at a time by those that have power, in an attempt to increase the powerlessness of those that they wish to dominate."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Conaway |first1=Donovan |title=Prince George's County, Bowie leaders react to U.S. Capitol lockdown |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/ac-cn-bowie-legislative-0104-story.html |access-date=May 26, 2022 |work=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |date=January 6, 2021 |archive-date=September 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230907005752/https://www.baltimoresun.com/ac-cn-bowie-legislative-0104-story.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Social issues===
In 2012, Holmes voted against legislation to expand gambling in Maryland; the bill passed the House of Delegates by a vote of 71-58 and was signed into law on August 15, 2012.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lang |first1=Robet |title=Gov.

Holmes introduced legislation during the 2019 legislative session to lower the state's lead exposure threshold from 10 to 5 micrograms per deciliter, the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]]'s reference level that demonstrates elevated lead levels in children. The bill passed and was signed into law by Governor [[Larry Hogan]] on April 30, 2019.<ref>{{cite web |title=Legislation - HB1233 |url=https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb1233/?ys=2019rs |website=mgaleg.maryland.gov |publisher=[[Maryland General Assembly]] |access-date=May 26, 2022 |archive-date=May 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220527004235/https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb1233/?ys=2019rs |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Gaskill |first1=Hannah |title=State: Lead Poisoning in Md.
