Wes Moore makes history as Maryland’s Governor
Moore defeated Dan Cox, a far-right state legislator who won the Republican primary.
Moore’s win puts the governorship back in Democrats‘ hands after two terms of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, one of the country’s most popular governors.

Moore, a political newcomer is a longtime businessman, philanthropist, and author who ran on a platform of eliminating childhood poverty and ensuring Maryland remains a state dedicated to reproductive rights.
Despite having never held public office, Moore has quickly emerged as a rising star among Democrats, garnering the endorsement of national Democrats and celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, President Biden and former President Barack Obama.
