Dan Cox

Given the lopsided nature of Moore's race against Republican Dan Cox, why is Moore raising and spending so much money? It's nuanced.

The candidates will face off on Maryland Public Television on Oct. 6.

If the measure passes the General Assembly, voters will have a say on the November ballot.

“I am the only African American governor in the country right now, but that’s not a title that I’m proud of,” Moore said. “I don’t want to hold on to that title for very long.”

As President Trump prepares to give a primetime speech on Thursday, Maryland Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Cox is trying to distance himself from past challenges to the 2020 election.

Cox and Ed Hale ran low-dollar, low-visibility campaigns in the Republican primary. The winner will need to turn up his fundraising prowess to amplify his message against Moore.

Maryland’s 2026 primaries feature key battles in Baltimore, major congressional races, and decisive moments for Democrats and Republicans.

A fake image circulating on social media shows the two men in a warm embrace in the Governor’s Reception Room. Cox, facing the camera, is grinning. Moore’s eyes are closed.

It’s anybody’s guess who will win the Republican governor nomination, with no public polling or other indicators of the state of the race.

The ads play up Dan Cox’s association with President Donald Trump and emphasize Ed Hale Sr.’s recent conversion to the GOP.

This year’s crop of Republican gubernatorial hopefuls are largely putting together low-dollar campaigns as they vie for a chance to go up against deep-pocketed incumbent Democratic Gov. Wes Moore.

Ron Owens, who had been the Democratic governor’s campaign manager since last summer, will exit at the end of the week.

About 48% of Marylanders approve of the job the Democratic governor is doing, while 42% disapprove and 9% aren’t sure.

Scores of candidates are lining up for a shot at public office in Maryland, from county council seats to the U.S. Congress.

Two top Republican options to challenge Wes Moore decided to sit the race out.

Dan Cox, the 2022 Republican nominee for governor, has filed to run again, seeking a rematch with Wes Moore.

“We’re not going to go and set expectations that we don’t think we can meet,” says Andy Ellis of Baltimore. Gubernatorial candidate Ellis and running mate Owen Silverman Andrews aim to rack up votes, increase influence.

Dan Cox, a Republican who lost to Wes Moore, is representing plaintiffs in two federal discrimination cases against Howard County government, the police department and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab.

A race for Congress in a district that stretches from the western edge of Maryland to the D.C. suburbs is shaping up with multiple contenders, including some familiar names.

The Republican politician said a candidacy filing with the Federal Election Commission wasn’t done by him, and he’s asked the commission to investigate. He says he’s still thinking about whether to run.
