Re: the group chat

There are 19 year olds I served with in Afghanistan who took security practices more seriously than this administration. I served in the military for 16 years. So when I heard about National Security Advisor Mike Waltz’s group chat shenanigans, I was astonished, John. I mean: There are 19 ye…

The most patriotic thing you can do

John, I’m often asked, “How can you feel patriotic after what happened in November?”  My answer is simple: I know our country isn’t perfect. But I still believe in it. Flaws and all. That conviction prevents me from sitting back and allowing someone to take our country in the wrong directio…

Go Terps! 🐢💪🏾

To get hyped up for the big game, I invited a new intern to the State House. John, y'all know I’m rooting for the Terps in the Sweet Sixteen! Our new intern and I have been trying to get the whole State House hyped for the men's big game tonight. Check it out: I hope you’ll be cheering them…

A 2:02 A.M phone call

John, one year ago today, I got a phone call at 2:02 AM I could have never truly prepared for. The Francis Scott Key Bridge had been hit by a container ship the length of three football fields.  Six Marylanders who were working the night shift on the bridge were unaccounted for. And the Por…

Leadership means lifting people up, not punching down

Leadership isn’t about attacking those who are working hard to succeed. It’s about lifting people up and making sure they have the resources to thrive. That’s why last week – when Donald Trump singled out Baltimore students to try to justify his senseless plot to dismantle the Department of…

Ask Wes Anything

The impacts of these chaotic times in the federal government are being felt across Maryland, but the Moore-Miller administration is here to help. John, that’s why Wes is opening up a direct line of communication with you: our new Ask Wes Anything series. He’s taking questions about what’s g…

What’s bringing you joy right now?

John, we all need something to keep us grounded right now. For me, it’s the simple pleasures: Spending time with my family (and our dog, Tucker), watching Maryland sports, and being in the great outdoors. I always love enjoying quality time with my family, especially our dog, Tucker! We ado…

“Leave no one behind”

“Leave No One Behind.” John, it’s the slogan I ran on, and it’s the first thing you see on welcome signs when driving into the great state of Maryland. The story behind those words started when I joined the Army at 17 — I was still a minor, so my mom had to sign the paperwork for me to join…

What *real* governance looks like

John, I know it can feel like we are in a dark time right now. That’s what I’ve heard from a lot of folks in our communities and in our neighborhoods, and you’re probably feeling it too.  The thing I’ve always known about darkness is that though it is a little scary, it also makes it easier…

🌭 You can’t get a hot dog like this just anywhere

You can’t change my mind on this. You can’t change my mind on this: The best hot dog in America is from Pip’s in Annapolis. Not only does Pip’s make a damn good dog, they’re also a family and veteran-owned business. That’s why I was proud to present them with a Governor's Citation just last…

“Not fit to have a job”

John, FIRST, the White House said veterans were “not fit to have a job.” THEN, they threatened to cut tens of thousands of jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. NOW, we have to make our values clear. We stand up for our veterans and the public servants who make veterans’ health care t…

What we’re doing to support Maryland workers

John, After spending several days in Washington last week, I sadly have no illusion about what kind of partnership we can expect from this administration. They have spread chaos through actions that have the potential to cut jobs, raise prices, and stifle economic growth. Federal public ser…

Thanks to the people around me

John, I will be the first to admit that I am lucky to be where I am today. I couldn’t do what I do today without the support of all of my family. After my father passed away when I was young, I was raised by my mother and the help of the surrounding community. I learned that you are only as…

Tuesday's actions were deeply irresponsible
