Maryland Democrats are well-positioned to sweep statewide offices, according a new Goucher College poll in partnership with The Baltimore Banner and WYPR.
Baltimore’s water contamination crisis this week offered an unusual glimpse, mid-campaign, to see how two candidates would respond to a public safety situation they might face as governor.
With the primary elections over, Democrats have nominated Wes Moore and Republicans have nominated Del. Dan Cox. Both men are unique in that neither has any state public sector executive branch experience.
Despite openings in Annapolis for governor, attorney general and comptroller, some observers feared it would be hard to spur voters into action this year.
It's still mathematically possible for Tom Perez to overtake Wes Moore in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, but one expert said: "I don't think Perez has a chance."
Maryland gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore sought to address the difficult challenge of helping young people transition to college when he founded BridgeEdU in 2014. But universities that hired the company say the programs were expensive and not as effective as they'd hoped. BridgeEdU was sold and its programs shuttered in 2019.
Maryland gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore has thrust those behind-the-scenes whispers about his biography into public conversation by alleging that a competing campaign has violated campaign finance rules by anonymously circulating documents about his background.
For months, the leading candidates for Maryland governor in both parties have been working to line up endorsements from unions, interest groups and individuals in hopes of mustering support and gaining attention in a crowded primary campaign.
